The community of Lower Gweru and its surroundings in the Midlands Province was left shell-shocked when a goat gave birth to human-like creature that had the combined features of a man and a goat.

I wonder what the goat mated with? I wonder. Yeah, Zimbabwe is truly a backward country. In the civilized world, (formerly) lonely goat herders weed these creatures out every spring with ball peen hammers before anyone finds out. Harte

It's not a hoax, its a deformed stillborn goat. People in Zimbabwe are not going to be very educated about such things, along with being superstitious, I can see why they thought it was a demon. Poor little guy

If those pictures are real. A scientific and quite reasoneable answer would be = Highly deformed goat. Would also explain why it died pretty much right away. For a person who lives in another culture where a big portion of people think certain types of diseases can be cured by certain illegal forced activities against women. Is ANYONE suprised they would consider such a deformed goat to be a satyr or faun or goat-man? haha its the devil!! LOL but sereously that wouldnt be funny

Looks like hydrocephalus to me, leading to a greatly enlarged cranium due to pressure buildup around the brain during development, along with various facial malformations.

Humans cannot mate with animals! The only inhuman thing we might possibly ever have mated with to produce offspring would have been Neanderthal, if even that.
