A farmer in China was shocked to discover that one of his sheep had given birth to what appeared to be a dog/sheep hybrid.

Liu Naiying was inspecting his farm, only to discover the animal being licked and nursed by one of his flock.

Strangely, however, despite its wool, the lamb-puppy has the mouth, nose, eyes, paws and tail of a dog.

“I was herding the sheep, and saw a sheep licking her newborn lamb on the grassland. The lamb was still wet,” famer Liu Naiying said.

“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.

“I was a bit frightened, as I've been raising sheep for 20 years and had never seen such a creature.”

The possibility of it being a dog/sheep hybrid has been ruled out as it is, of course, impossible for those two animals to breed.
