A Sheep Born With an Upside Down Head That Lives Normally? You Got to See This

Oct. 4, 2012 12:57pm Liz Klimas

A sheep in the United Kingdom was born with an unusual deformity — his head is allegedly upside down.*

Fortunately, the YouTube user MrMacca who posted a video of the animal, states that the vet has assured his friend, who owns the sheep, that it can “do everything other sheeps can.” He writes that Terry, as the sheep is named, is not thought to be in any sort of pain.

You can see Terry stroll around the pasture eating grass in this video:

In the video is is a little hard to see the position of the sheep’s head, so MrMacca includes pictures on an Imgur site.

See more pictures of Terry here.

Some commenters in the YouTube video say they think they see the sheep’s head looking “perfectly normal” while he’s eating in the video. MrMacca writes that he took photos to better show the extent of sheep’s deformity.

Here is a photo of “normal” sheep for comparison purposes:

MrMacca most recently commented on the video that he was going to head back to the farm this weekend to get clearer images as well.

*We say “allegedly” because in this internet age, you just never know.

  The first thing I wondered…after seeing the sheep eat okay…was how did this ewe sheep nurse as a baby? That had to be tricky…but obviously she was a smart baby lamb. I raise sheep so I know how difficult it is for a newborn lamb to nurse it’s mother….let alone have it’s head upside down.

  This configuration just might make it easier for the sheperd to kiss the lamb from behind. I’m just saying.

Really? Can it do anything other sheeps can? Is everyone in this country including the media totally ignorant? Sheep is singular as well as plural. Do you say Deers as well? I guess when you have a President that pronounces Corps the same way you would the word corpse anything goes!

  By the way Monsanto GMO’s feed the worlds starving population and makes it possible to harvest 10x the crops possible before. If you want non gmo than move back to your hippie commune and whine about the daily chem-trails left by the jetliners and how tye die is out of fashion except on only the hottest (unshaven… yuck) hippie chicks. Give a hippie chick a razor and a paycheck and she will be a conservative… WHOA!!!

  @Armedpatriot- Please don’t be so quick to trust GMO’s. Many non-heirloom seeds will no longer produce seed bearing plants. So one good harvest and you’re done. Starvation. Heirloom seeds are good to have.

Vet: “If the animal drools, it risks drowning…. :-), but other than that, its a normal sheep….”

I’m sure a joke like that may have been thrown around…. if not, it would be a shame…

That’s nothing. For the past three and a half years we have had a president that was born with his head up his a$$. But, he doesn’t function too well!

Nothing surprises me any more with all the genetic manipulation they are doing. Won’t be long before everything has abnormal genes including all the food and animals. They have no idea what consequences there will be from their immoral experiments.

  Ever seen an indian baby with 4 arms and 4 lega or a two headed cat, or a liberal with another mouth on the side of his neck. That life and shite happens. Its call birth defects and the birth defect we REALLY see before us is a Scarecrow. SHITE HAPPENS. Quit blaming capitalism and the new found ability to feed 6 billion people. You libs will be the end of us all.

  Sorry, no animal is more fitting and appropriate as the mascot of the Democrats than a jackass. Perhaps the first and last good choice they ever made.

  Not their decision. The elephant and donkey were assigned to their respective parties by the early political cartoonist Thomas Nast. If I recall correctly, it was his jolly Santa Claus that inspired the one Coke made famous too.

I’d like to see the farmer holding this sheep. I’d like to see a human, with a normal head, leading the sheep around. That might make it harder to fake.

this is just natural evolution. this sheep will be able to see Macca (wearing his wellington rubber boots) coming up behind him for a surprise. the other sheep with “normal” heads can’t do that, and they’re always dissapointed when Macca doesn’t call, doesn’t write…

  KREGNEVA…Fascination is a strong word to use and I’m not privy to JZS, MONICNE/ENCINOM and WANGO’s internal physiology as to whether they chew and digest food like their bovine and cloven-hooved cousins…but certainly their outward appearance, voice and behaviour resembles that of a sheep which is why the blaze has made this error here. MONICNE/ENCINOM often bleats here for instance. N’est pas?

  BIOHAZARD…I have no delusions about them..they’re waiting on their talking points from Media Matters. Soros’ soon to be non-tax exempt political attack dog was so gutted last night by the empty chair’s capitulation that they’re in board meetings all day today trying to work out what the spin will be. Axelrod (bless his heart) has decided to get ahead of the Media Matters edict by telling the media to attack Romney. But JZS, WANGO, MONICNE/ENCINOM/SLEAZY HIPPO can’t make a move until ordered by Media Matters and given their lines. Watch and see…my bet is on “47%” and “$5trillion tax cuts”.
