Poor little thing. There actually is a specific name for that birth defect, damned if I can remember it though.

felt bad for the one in Zimbabwe (sp?)

[n0Mad]

I'm surprised that's not more common in Scotland.

Damnit, Spook! Beat me to it!

Whats the difference between the Rolling Stones and a Scotsman? The rolling stones say "hey you get off my cloud" the scotsman says "Hey McCloud get off me Ewe!"

Feel bad for anyone in Zimbabwe these days.

I can't find any legitimate news source for this - any chance this is NOT a hoax (the Jan 2010 Batboy!)?

One of the Brothers said something to that effect yesterday too...

Legitimate news outlets tend to shy away from deformed animal-birth stories except on really slow news days. Could be a hoax, but that is an actual deformity that occurs in sheep, goats, and cattle.

Is there any source about it? The deformity?

[candyman]

Well that is strange...and kinda funny...but then the scottish jokes had to go and offend me...but they were different than the old "haha look how hairy you are" scottish jokes...

[pomba gira]

Yeah... can't remember right offhand... I just have an interest in that kind of stuff so I tend to run across that kind of thing. I will poke around a bit when I have time later this evening.

Good search start would be "ovine facial deformity" or "caprine facial deformity"

[AstralCrux]

Wouldn't it be funny if god were trying to say.... You silly humans aren't so special!

Just typing a thought. Don't go all bananas over it.... It was just the thing that popped in my head.

[jynxxxedangel]

I dunno....

It looks kinda phony to me.

[pomba gira]

OK... it's called holoprosencephaly... specifically agnathia-holoprosencephaly. Here is a Chinese piglet with the same type of deformity. One of a group of facial/brain defects caused by a wack sonic hedgehog protein. Interesting discussion of sonic hedgehog-related deformities in kittens here (warning: lots of pix of hideously deformed kittens... worse the farther down the page you go).

It looks like it's made of macaronis and cheese.

Thanks, dude... I was gonna make mac & cheese for dinner tonight. Now, maybe not.
