Erm reproduction doesn't work like that, for one we don't have the same number of chromosomes as sheep, reproductive cells have half the number of chromosomes that regular cells do so that when the 2 cells combine they have the right number so as humans have a different number of chromosomes to a sheep the 2 cells actually fertilising is impossible.
Would a human be able to fertilise a "Reeve's Muntjac"? As they have to same amount of chromosomes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by_chromosome_count]...
Very unlikely as the chromosomes are incompatible because the human genome is different from the muntjac same reason we cannot fertilise apes.

Way too many people here are talking nonsense about human and sheep DNA not being compatable. I can tell you from experience that sheep, cow, chicken, and pig DNA are all compatable with human DNA.

I am trying to "test" the horse but shes too damn fast.

I already see a couple things wrong with this: First, to get a human head, the sheep must have already have had human genes, or else the result would be part human, part sheep head. Second, it was found on the internet, so isn't it possible for it to be false, or exaggerated?
And third, I think it's convenient that the thing was burned before biologists were able to examine it. I'm not going to believe this until I see some gene tests sowing it was part human.

Been there, done that.

You're right, it doesn't work, you just get a small winged lion with hollow bones that still to heavy to fly

That's nothing. Call me when a human gives birth to a sheep with the face of a lamb instead.

Yeah, no BULL-FUCKING-SHIT.
Reproduction does not work that way.
I was going to say - it's impossible, the genes don't match so nothing would happen.

Yeah.....it doesn't work that way and you shouldn't try to make a liogle because you can't.Now I'm going to go feed my liog..I mean my dog.....yeah dog.

To the genome sequencer!

But seriously, this is obviously an evil Furry conspiracy to generate human-quadruped hybrids. The people of Zimbabwe had the right idea: Kill it with Fire!

Okay, so this time I'm actually serious. Current genetic technology allows scientists to look at the lamb's entire genetic makeup. Malnutrition seems to me like the least likely cause of the deformity. I suspect it was caused by the mother's exposure to certain chemicals or metals. Genetic mutation is also certainly possible. Thankfully both of these hypotheses can be tested.
Yay, Science!
