A newborn calf with just one eye is being worshipped as a god in eastern India.
The little cow, whose appearance is due to a birth defect, was born in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal.
In video footage shared online, the one-eyed calf, which also does not have a muzzle, can be seen sticking out its tongue and gasping for breath.
The owner said: 'Ever since it was born, people have crowded my place to see the bizarre calf.
'They are now considering it to be a miracle of God and have started worshipping it.'
The calf has cyclopia, a rare congenital disorder that occurs in both humans and animals.
It develops in the womb when the left and right hemispheres of the brain do not separate as they are meant to early on in pregnancy.

Worshipped: The one-eyed alien calf appeared in a video reportedly filmed in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal in India, where locals believe it is a god
This leads to the formation of a single central cavity with one eye, or sometimes partially fused or separate eyeballs and often the complete absence of eyelashes and eyelids are absent.
The nose is also deformed, as in this calf, with an underdeveloped upper jaw.
A creature with cyclopia may be able to distinguish light and dark but will not have proper vision because the retina won't form properly.
Creatures with the condition are normally stillborn or die shortly after due to breathing and brain problems

"Snippy" hates one-eyed cow worshippers.
They should all be kilt dead.
"Snippy" is a Pastafarian.
Only the Flying Spaghetti Monster can save humanity.
Snippy is a brave individual, standing up for the FSM faith in these suspicious times.
Persecution and suppression of freedom of speech is alive and well in Canuckistan.
You tried to trick the old guy (Uke, me) into traveling outside the comfort zone.
But I can't do it. Actually I fear crossing major international frontiers including the US/Canuckistan border. Heavily armed guards with vicious attack dogs greet visitors/tourists on both sides.
Maybe we'll just let baby Jeezuss cry instead.

Cy is right. Time to retire the screaming chick avatard
The "One-eyed Cow" is more of a "Cylclops Cow" with the only eye in center of the face instead of any other arrangement.
The thing looks like a creature from Hollyweird. Poor thing should be put down but it is now the newest thing for peoples
of India to worship. Will continue to monitor the situation.
