Although it may sound unbelievable, a male goat in north China is able to produce milk!
This white goat is only about a meter tall and two meters long, and it lives in a village in Hebei province. It's owner, Mr An Guisuo of Cao village, Zhengding county, reportedly said he bought the four-year-old goat for US$131 from a nearby villager for hybridization half a year ago.
During that time, he was doubtful of whether the goat with a pair of large breasts would breed successfully. But all his doubts of the male goat were cleared when one of his female goats gave birth to several lambs.
When questioned regarding on how he made the discovery of the male goat's milk, Mr An explained that he accidentally discovered some white liquid that flowed from the male's breasts, and hence he tried squeezing them to see if they produced milk. Since that event, he has milking and drinking almost half litre of milk obtained from it every day.
Professor Sang Ruizi of Hebei Agricultural University said that it's possible internal secretion stimulated the male goat's breasts to produce milk.
