A cow born with just one eye and no real nose was recently born in Bardhaman, West Bengal, India.
According to, er, The Sun, a local source said that “Ever since the calf was born, the people have crowded to see it. They are now considering it to be a miracle of God and have started worshipping it. The cow had been discarded by its mother and the women are feeding the cow. The people think that worshipping the cow is going to bring luck and prosperity to the family of whoever worships it.”
The animal appears to suffer from cyclopia, a rare “congenital disorder (birth defect) characterized by the failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to properly divide the orbits of the eye into two cavities. Its incidence is 1 in 16,000 in born animals and 1 in 250 in embryos,” according to the Brain Catalogue.
