{ A newspaper today reported on how curious residents of a South African village flooded a family’s homestead after a calf with “human features’ was born to a cow belonging to the family. We highly doubt it}<\/p>\n

Some \u2018reports\u2019 we occasionally come across leave us shaking our heads in doubt.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Sun, the South African government wants to test a newborn calf to see whether it is half-human.<\/p>\n

This is after the calf, with a \u201cstrange head\u201d and both male and female organs was born to a cow belonging to a Kwazulu-Natal province family.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/figure>\n

\u201cAt about 12pm I saw cow legs coming out of Nyamazane, but I realised she was in pain and it was taking longer than normal for the birth process to finish,\u201d Sebenzile Mlangeni, the head of the family, said, \u201cafter a while I called my kids to come help. After pulling the dead calf out we got the shock of our lives when we saw that the head looked like a human\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome residents have said that the cow may have been sexually abused in the veld where she grazes,\u201d he said, \u201cWe do not know whether to bury it like a human baby or maybe send it to doctors to assess it,\u201d said Sebenzile.<\/p>\n

News of the strange birth spread fast. The SunTeam saw people arriving at the homestead in taxis on Monday.<\/p>\n

The news shocked Ukhahlamba mayor Thulani Sibeko, who sent a ward councillor and induna to find out how true the rumour was.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the family sent me the picture I thought it was photoshopped,\u201d Sibeko said.<\/p>\n

Yes the animal looks strange but WTF! That does NOT look like a human being!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
