Mr. Liu Naiying, a rancher in Shaanxi Province (China), was surprised to find a sheep on his farm giving birth to a baby with a dog-like appearance.

' As I drove my sheep in the pasture to the stable, I found a mother lamb who was licking her baby just born. As I approached, I was shocked because the baby looked very strange, like a dog and sheep hybrid. I was terrified because I had been raising sheep for the past 20 years and had never seen any of these creatures, 'Mr. Liu Naiying recounted.

According to the Daily Mail, the " sheep dog " in Mr. Liu Naiying's farm has fur like a sheep's, but its mouth, nose, eyes, legs and tail resemble a dog . It also has the same skills as professional sheep hunting dogs.

However, Yue Guozhang, a veterinarian at the Animal Technology Center in Xian City, said: ' Sheep and dogs are two different animals. Therefore, sheep cannot be pregnant and give birth to dogs. It seems that this is a mutated case of sheep . '
