Recently, user MrNeb posted on the social networking site Reddit a picture of a new baby goat born at his farm. However, due to a deformity, it could not survive a few minutes after birth.
The one-eyed goat died just a few minutes after being born.
MrNeb said that due to a birth defect, the baby goat has only one eye without an eyelid crease in the middle of its face. In addition, this deformed animal also does not have a nose. And this is what causes its tongue to come out. Just a few minutes after being born, the deformed baby goat died.
It is known that this goat has a one-eyed giant deformity, also known as Cyclopia deformity. This is an extremely rare birth defect that occurs in both humans and animals. In every 16,000 animals born, only 1 individual is affected.
In most cases, one-eyed fetuses survive in the womb and die within a few minutes of birth.
