A farmer was astonished after one of his goats gave birth to a kid with the "face of a human". The "human baby-like offspring" is said to have surprised locals in Gangapur village in Dholai in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. It was discovered after a goat belonging to Shankar Das gave birth. Shakar said: "The neighbours rushed to our house. "Everyone was left shocked by its appearance resembling a human baby.
