A farmer was horrified after one of her goats gave birth to an unusual 'half-pig half-human' creature.

Josephine Repique, 40, said the pregnant goat went into labour earlier this month at a small farm in Sultan Kudarat, the Philippines.

One healthy baby had to be removed by caesarian section but when the other bizarre creature emerged it sparked shrieks of horror.

The small furless animal is much larger than its sibling and has shiny pale pink skin, trotters like a pig and even had a naval - just like a tiny human.

Ms Repique said the baby 'looked like a pig, with a mix of human'.

She said: 'We were shocked. We can't explain how it looks like that. All our neighbours flocked into our house to get a good look.'

Sadly, the mother and her two infants goats all died, sparking fears that the creature was a cursed 'mutant devil' that brought bad luck.

Ms Repique added: 'Nobody knows what it is, but it's not a goat. It's scary. We're all wondering why it happened and if it is bad luck.'

But experts believe the goat suffered from a genetic mutation in the womb.

Dr Agapita Salces of the Institute of Animal Science of the University of the Philippines said the foetus appeared to have suffered a genetic mutation in the womb.

He added: 'It is a possible case of genetic mutation. It is also possible that the mother contracted a disease called Rift Valley fever from mosquito bites and this caused the impaired development of the infant.'
