A sheep in the village of Chirka close to Dagestan in southwest Russia has given birth to a lamb with a peculiar face.
Farmer Blasius Lavrentiev, 45, said, 'We had quite a tough winter and when I noticed she was pregnant I was delighted as it meant I would be able to sell the lambs and start making some money again.
'But when I went down to see how it was going I nearly died from shock when I saw what looked like the hairy face of an old man staring up at me.'
Villager Dana Mishina, 56, said: 'She terrifies my grandchildren.'
