A strange event happened in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. Residents in the village were suddenly shocked with the birth of a calf that resembled a human form.
The new-born calf was rumored to have eyes, nose, and ears which are very similar to human. Because of its unusual shape, the calf directly becomes the public attention to all the citizens.
The residents witnessed the uniqueness of the newborn cattle. They assumed that the human-faced cow is the avatar of their deity.
The calf lived only for the following one hour. The citizens then put it in a glass box.
The majorities whose religion are Hindus, believe the calf was the reincarnation of the God of Vishnu. Those who came brought bouquets for offerings. Another bowed in honor to the calf's remain.
The owner of the calf, King Bhaiya Mishra also felt grateful that the calf had been born in his community. The 55-year-old man said that what happened was a miracle.
"No wonder this calf was born in the place of our village. It was such a magic," said Mishra.
Scientific Explanation
When the community of Uttar Pradesh thought the birth of the human-faced calf was the avatar of the god of India, the animal health experts would like to think differently. They had different view and denied the mystical story behind it.
"This is a case of anatomical anomalies. The gene that does not develop properly or there is a fault, causes some structural abnormalities. Similar to what could have happened to the calf," explained a senior veterinarian at the Wildlife SOS India, Dr. Ajay Deshmukh.
"This is the scientific reason and explanation, no superstitions here," added Dr. Ajay.
