Assam India

While nature can be cruel, it sometimes can be wondrous. Recently, a small peculiar baby goat was born in Assam, India. (This area has a really large population of around 31 million people living here)

It seems this is no ordinary goat, but one born with only one eye. Comparable to the mythological cyclops creature, this young goat has since become the object of both admiration and worship by some people.

Legends and lore from Greek mythology, have portrayed the cyclops creature as being both powerful and wise. They often have been mentioned as being a primordial race of giants, each with a single eye in the center of their forehead. Ancient Greek poet Homer, mentioned them in his epic tale The Odyssey. The actual word cyclops means “round eyed” or “circle-eyed”.

This baby goat, was born on the 10th of May and has quickly gained fame around the world. It suffers from a rare congenital disorder known as Cyclopia, which occurs in both humans and animals. The rarity of this happening, is only 1 out of 16,000 or so animals and about 1 in 200 miscarried fetuses. This condition happens when both the right and left hemispheres of the brain don’t separate as they are designed to, early on in pregnancy.

Various different formations can happen such as partially fused eyeballs. Other irregularities happen also like no eyelashes or eyelids along with no real nose. Both the upper and lower lips may be present but most of the time they are quite smaller. Also, the upper jaw is short and there are teeth are missing, which is why their normal sized tongue protrudes. Other animals have unfortunately suffered like this ranging from horses, pigs, cows, cats and even dusky sharks.
