A mutant goat with what is believed to be a penis on its forehead has stunned villagers.
The newborn farm animal has the phallic growth protruding from its brow.
The kid’s eyes are googly and joined together.

And its outsized tongue juts out over its protruding lower jaw.
The otherworldly infant was born to a pregnant nanny goat belonging to local man, Sher Singh.
It reportedly came into the world on Sunday (1 Dec) in a village in Kishni, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Locals have reportedly been queuing outside Singh’s house to see the goat, which is being fed milk to keep it alive.
Its alien appearance may be due to a rare congenital condition called ethmocephaly.
Ethmocephaly is characterised by the presence of holoprosencephaly, a proboscis, the absence of a nose and microphthalmic, close-set eyes.
Holoprosencephaly is a rare disorder that occurs during early foetal development, where the brain fails to split into two hemispheres.
A proboscis is a long, flexible, and often tubular abnormal growth often resembling a nose.
While the kid’s eyes do not appear abnormally small, they seem to be fused together at the centre.
Ethmocephaly is extremely rare in farm animals and even rarer in humans, as reported by Need To Know.
It can be caused by genetic mutations; exposure to toxins, infections, or certain medications during pregnancy; chromosomal abnormalities; and/or health issues in the mother.
Typically, farm animals with ethmocephaly do not survive long after birth.
This is because the condition can result in difficulties with feeding, breathing, and basic bodily functions.
