| Butterfly is a half goat, half sheep |
When a goat crosses a sheep, what do you expect? A half goat, half sheep, right? Yes! That's exactly the case here as there's one 'Geep' (half goat half sheep) somewhere in Arizona who's melting hearts across the internet.
Her name is 'Butterfly,' who's mother is a sheep and father, a pygmy goat. Butterfly was born last Sunday at a Zoo in Scottsdale and her birth delighted her owner.
She was named 'Butterfly' because of her large black spots. The strange thing about her is that the feet and face are that of a goat while the tail and wool are that of a sheep. Amazing.

According to the owner, Priscilla Motola, she and her three sons actually went to feed their animals when one of her sons saw what he thought was a new born goat, only to discover a sheep had just put to birth:
"That’s when we looked at the mama sheep and saw she had just delivered,’ she said.
"We were not aware that she was even pregnant. We noticed she got a little bigger, but we thought she was just eating more."

Butterfly's birth has already drawn heart melting messages across the internet.
The zoo has been temporarily closed due to the hot weather but Motola believes Butterfly will attract so many visitors when the zoo reopens in the autumn.
‘She’s just a baby. We just want to give her some time,’ she said. ‘I just never expected something like this to happen,’ she added.
