The &#8220;puppy&#8221; has wool like a lamb but its mouth, nose, eyes, paws and tail look more like a dog&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>The birth of this alleged <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopia.us\/site\/category\/monsters\/hybrid-beasts\/\" target=\"_\">HYBRID BEAST<\/a> has prompted thousands to flock to Naiying&#8217;s farm to see the extraordinary beast for themselves. Naiying told how he found the unusual baby animal shortly after it was born in one of his fields:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was herding the sheep, and saw a sheep licking her newborn lamb on the grassland. The lamb was still wet. When I went up close to check on the lamb I was shocked because it looked so weird, like a cross between a sheep and a dog&#8230; I was a bit frightened, as I&#8217;ve been raising sheep for 20 years and had never seen such a creature.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yue Guozhang &#8212; a researcher at Xi&#8217;an City Animal Husbandry Technology Center &#8212; said sheep and dogs were different species and therefore biologically incompatible:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s not possible that a sheep could become pregnant with a puppy. It&#8217;s likely that this is just an abnormal lamb.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/SD2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/SD2-300x216.jpg?resize=300%2C216\" alt=\"\" title=\"SD2\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7383\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Daily Mail has reported that a Chinese farmer insists one of his sheep has given birth to a dog!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2504,"featured_media":12081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[165,632,1121,633],"class_list":{"0":"post-7381","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-china","9":"tag-hybrid","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-sheep-dog"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/SD131.jpg?fit=634%2C434&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2504"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7381"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10132,"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7381\/revisions\/10132"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cryptopia.us\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
