Butterfly has the feet and face of a goat, but the wool and tail of a sheep.

What do you get when you cross a goat with a sheep? The answer, of course, is a geep – and there’s one in Arizona who’s melting hearts across the internet.

Butterfly, whose mother was a sheep and whose father was a pygmy goat, was born last Sunday at My Petting Zoo in Scottsdale – much to the surprise of the owner.

Priscilla Motola said she and her three children went to feed the animals on Sunday evening when her son found what he believed was a newborn goat, even thought all the female goats expecting had already given birth.

‘That’s when we looked at the mama sheep and saw she had just delivered,’ Motola 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.’

That sheep momma must've had her beer goggles on when Butterfly was conceived.

I wonder if this baby will survive. It is sterile, most likely. I wonder what it will eat. Goats are dry food eaters and sheep prefer wetter food, like green grass.

Curiouser and curiouser.

All I saw was a tail on mom.
