According to Mirror online, the calf shocked farmers when it was born with a human-like face. 

The mutant animal was born in the tiny village of Villa Ana, Argentina. Footage of the animal was posted on YouTube.

It was born with a small mouth and nose. It also had difficulty holding up its head. 

Genetics expert Nicolas Magnago told local media that the animal could have had a rare genetic mutation.

"It was a spontaneous mutation caused by the action of mutagens, physical, chemical or biological agents, which altered its genetic sequencing," Magnago said.
