A MUTANT goat is being worshipped like a god after being born with an eerie-looking human face, say reports.
Images and clips of the oddball beast have quickly gone viral after they were posted on social media in Rajasthan, India.

At first, the oddball animal left villagers in Nimodia baffled as its freakish facial structure make it look just like a grumpy old man.
However, they now reportedly say the unfortunate-looking creature will be “worshipped as an avatar of god.”
Owner Mukeshji Prajapap, from the village of Nimodia, first unveiled his flat-faced goat on film showing it wagging its tail and stumbling around.
In India it is common for mutant animals to attract attention as many consider them to be a sign of god, according to local sources.

Experts have suggested the goat suffers from a rare congenital defect known as ‘cyclopia’, where genes which under normal circumstances create facial symmetry fail.
Recently a mutant cow was born in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal which was also worshipped by the locals until it sadly died aged just four months.
