A mutant goat born with one eye and a human-like face has left villagers stunned.
The unusual baby goat was born in Pandan Indah, Central Lombok Regency, in Indonesia and was one of two kids born to the same nanny goat on May 7.
But while its sibling was reportedly born normal, this creature was something different as it appeared to have only one eye and looked almost human because of its "beard".

The owner's neighbour, 26-year-old Masdar Farid, told local media: "The one-eyed goat is quite strange, it does not have fur and has a somewhat strange colour.
"It even looks like a human face because of its beard."
It reportedly died just 20 minutes later – but not before locals and people from the neighbouring village flocked to see the bizarre sight.
Immediately after its untimely passing, its owner – 30-year-old Suprapto – buried it in a shallow grave.
Masdar added: "It lived for about 20 minutes and then died. It was watched by the residents before being buried by Mr Suprapto.
"Last night (7th May), many residents wanted to see the one-eyed goat. Even residents from Kabul Village came to see the one-eyed goat."
According to Central Lombok Agricultural Agency head Taufikurrahman Puanote, the kid suffered from the rare birth defect cyclopia.
The congenital disorder causes the eye's orbits to not divide into two cavities, resulting in a single eye field or two bilateral fields very close to each other.
The news comes after a farmer was left gobsmacked when one of her cows gave birth to a mutant calf with two heads.

Leslie Hunewill's heifer was struggling to give birth and it became clear why when she went to investigate.
The calf that popped out was a one-in-2,500 anomaly but Leslie, 38, didn't immediately realise what had happened.
She said two-headed cows are produced in 0.039% of births, roughly equivalent to one in 2,500.
