A one-eyed goat that was born on a
farm in Perundurai, Erode district,
drew crowds to the farm as curious
people paid a visit to see the rarity.
The farm owner, Kandasamy, 45,
who has been breeding goats for
the past 10 years, said that this was
the first such occurrence.
“I have never witnessed such an
incident in the past,” he said. “A
female goat gave birth to two
calves, one of whom has just one
eye right in the centre of its
forehead.”
Vetenarians pointed out that it was
an anomaly and the outcome of a
genetic disorder.
According to Coimbatore VOC Park
Zoo director Dr K. Asokan, it’s a
genetic disorder and caused due to
chromosome changes in the
goat’s system. “It’s rare to see
such goats in the village,he said.
