One-eyed lamb born in Turkey

UNVERIFIED footage of a baby lamb born with just one eye has emerged from Turkey — and the newborn isn’t shy of the camera.

The lamb was unveiled by a Turkish farmer who is seen holding him in his arms while wrapped in a blanket.

His unusual and frightening appearance has captivated the world.

On YouTube, Grumpy Graebo wrote: “Seems legit, the autonomous balance correcting movements of its legs when it loses balance are extremely hard to fake and they appear to be in order. This thing isn’t blinking though, it is likely that the one eye isn’t plugged in to the brain. The tongue hanging out is indicative of skull deformation also, which correlates with it being a cyclops.”

Anna Clarence posted: “I feel sorry for this poor little lamb.”

The lamb is seen staring and bleating at the camera, before the farmer puts him on the ground.

He is then given a chance to stand on his own feet and walk.

But he struggles to manage the art of balance as the farmer supports him with his hands.
