Setelah ditelusuri, gambar seorang anak tubuhnya berubah menjadi domba dan berkepala anjing akibat kutukan ternyata tidak benar.

Gambar tersebut berasal dari situs weirdasianews.com dengan judul artikel "Farmer Finds Goat That Looks Like a Human Baby". Artikel itu telah muncul pada 30 Januari 2017 lalu.

There are varieties of myths about creatures that are half goat-half human. The Greeks had satyrs, who hung around with Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. The Romans had fauns, who had the torso of a human, but the legs, and horns, of a goat. The legend of fauns crept into contemporary pop culture through the character of Mr. Tumnus, from C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia. Now, one Malaysian farmer believes he might have found a real life hybrid.

Ibrahim Basir could not believe his ears when a farmhand gave him a report on a newborn goat. Basir, a 63-year-old farmer from southern Malaysia, rushed to the pen and was shocked to see the body of a kid (baby goat) that possessed the features of a human baby. In particular, the face had a distinctly human appearance because of the goat’s small nose, missing ears, and seemingly angelic smile. The animal also had short limbs and an underdeveloped torso. There were clearly hoofs on all four legs and a light brown coat of fur covering the body.

By the time Ibrahim made it to the goat pen on his farm in the village of Felda, the newborn was dead. The mother had attacked the goat soon after birth and trampled it to death. Basir has never before seen a mother act with such hostility toward her own newborn. Further adding to the mystery, the farmer claims that the kid did not have an umbilical cord. Local residents fear that the newborn goat is a mutation and an omen of bad tidings for the community.

Not everyone was turned away by the strange birth though, as Basir noted multiple people tried to purchase the carcass. However, he refused to sell. Instead, he packed the body into a cooler filled with ice and went to the district veterinary office. Medical officials have said they will conduct a necropsy and provide additional details about their findings.

Selain itu, informasi lainnya yang membantah kabar tersebut dikutip dari situs news.com.au dengan judul artikel "Discovery of a baby goat with human features has people confused". Artikel tersebut ditayangkan pada 28 April 2016 silam.

A RECENT discovery of a goat-man hybrid has left residents of Malaysia searching for answers.

Farmer Ibrahim Basir from the Malaysian village of Felda said it was a huge surprise to discover a baby goat with human features.

“I was quite shocked but fascinated too as its face, nose, short legs and even the condition of its soft body seemed like that of a human baby, whereas the light brown fur covering its whole body resembles that of a goat,” he told theMetro.

Despite its human features, the goat did not contain an umbilical cord.

The 69-year-old said even though the creature died shortly after birth, he was contacted with numerous offers to buy the carcass, but he opted to pass it onto veterinary authorities.

“We kept the carcass in a polystyrene box filled with ice cubes before taking it to the district veterinary office at around noon yesterday,” he said.

The state Veterinary Services Department laboratory is currently investigating the reason behind the goat’s human-looking features.

Agriculture and Agro-based Industry committee chairman Ismail Mohamed said this included exploring the possibility that a human violated the mother goat.

“For now we cannot confirm or deny anything as we have never received such a case before,” he toldThe Star.

“We will have to wait for the results and findings to be finalised and that takes somewhere between two weeks and a month.”

While the wait for answers continues, many people have made the connection the goat’s resemblance with a faun — a mythological half human-half goat manifestation of forest and animal spirits.

Gambar mahluk yang diunggah akun facebook Taubah ternyata bukan seorang anak yang terkena kutukan. Gambar tersebut adalah seekor bayi kambing yang penampakannya memang mirip bayi. Peristiwa tersebut terjadi di Malaysia beberapa tahun lalu.

Narasi yang disebarkan oleh akun facebook Taubah tidak sesuai dengan fakta sebenarnya.
