A bizarre photo of a “demon goat” has gone viral on social media after a Facebook user posted a video on August 17 with the following explanation:
“A strange creature has been discovered in India. The animal, whose shape resembles that of a human being, terrified a whole village.”
The story became a sensation after an article appeared in Asia One. The goat has attracted worldwide attention, with people claiming its face looks more human than the face of a goat. Its lips curl upwards. In the video, two people can be seen holding on to the animal as it continuously sticks its tongue out.
Sadly, the animal appears to have been a result of genetics gone awry. The photos and video have been shared more than 60 million times. This is not the first time goats with mutations make them look more human. This particular creature also appears to be missing his fur, and therefore the look of his smooth skin, makes him look even more human-like. Just three years ago, a stillborn baby goat was found in Argentina with features resembling those of a human infant.
Mysterious superstitious rumors abound with people believing these animals are really demon hybrids caused by unfounded claims that they were the result of sexual activity between goats and humans. Scientists claim that is an impossible theory with a species so different as a goat.

Oh that’s so sad. I hope they didn’t kill it because of the way it looks. After all it couldn’t help the way it was born
Stop it!!! Have some compassion for this poor animal. Poor baby!!!
so sad hope someone will love him
good luck
I hope that someone has rescued this poor baby! Does anyone know how and where thiss goat is? The only real demons are homo sapiens!
Please don’t hurt him.
That was my first thought to.
They didnt tell us what happened.
He will grow up to be beautiful and fun to be around.
I hope someone with good sense steps in.
Pray-in to god. we see him some more
Because of my curious mind I looked into this story everywhere and nothing shows what happened to this lovely goat.
Poor baby. Praying for him and loving home. It is hard to bit human superstition but this baby deserves love.
This is not a demon. This baby was just born with a deformity and I certainly hope they don’t do anything to the goat just for the way it looks. Hope someone will stand up and care for the animal.
