Three-eyed calf born in India, pictures go viral

Chhatisgarh: A jersey cow owned by an Indian farmer has given birth to a three-eyed calf that also has four nostrils. A large number of people gathered to witness the unusual calf. 

A jersey cow owned by a farmer named Hemant gave birth to an unusual looking calf on January 13.

Talking to local press Hemant said that “The calf has an additional eye in the middle of her forehead and also four holes in the nostril. Its tail looks like a ‘jata’ (heap of matted hair) and its tongue is also longer than normal calves.”

According to Hemant, a veterinarian has deemed the three-eyed calf perfectly healthy.

He added that “However, due to its long tongue, the calf is facing difficulties in drinking milk from the cow. We are helping in feeding her.”

Residents of nearby areas have started to visit Hemant’s house to witness the three-eyed calf calling it an avatar of Lord Shiva.
