A farmer's goat gave birth to a "half-pig half-human" creature, which his family now fear could bring bad luck as it is "cursed."<\/p>\n
Josephine Repique said the pregnant goat went into labour earlier at the small farm in Sultan Kudarat, the Philippines, giving birth to what some believe could be a "mutant devil."<\/p>\n
The two babies had to be removed by cesarean section but onlookers quickly realised something wasn\u2019t right and one of them "looked like a pig, with a mix of human".<\/p>\n

There were shrieks of horror when one of the strange-looking animals emerged from the goat back in November 2018.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Josephine said the baby "looked like a pig, with a mix of human". The small fur-less animal even had a naval – just like a tiny human. She said: "We were shocked. We can't explain how it looks like that. All our neighbours flocked into our house to get a good look."<\/p>\n
Sadly, the two infants and the mother goat all died, sparking fears that the creature was a cursed "mutant devil" that brought bad luck. <\/p>\n
Josephine added: "Nobody knows what it is, but it's not a goat. It's scary. We're all wondering why it happened and if it is bad luck."<\/p>\n

Dr Agapita Salces of the Institute of Animal Science of the University of the Philippines said the foetus appeared to have suffered a genetic mutation in the womb. <\/p>\n
He added: "It is a possible case of genetic mutation. It is also possible that the mother contracted a disease called Rift Valley fever from mosquito bites and this caused the impaired development of the infant." <\/p>\n
Also in 2018, pictures of a 'pig-human hybrid baby' went viral, shocking the world. They, however, turned out to be the creation of an Italian visual artist. <\/p>\n
