Press release on the scientific discovery: https://www.inrae.fr/en/news/mystery-four-horned-goats-and-sheep-finally-solved
Their results reveal that polycerate individuals all carry a mutation affecting the same gene: HOXD1. This is a homeotic gene, which means that it is involved in the organisation of the body plan during the development of embryos.
I hope no mad scientist ever plays with that gene 😅

I’m not usually into goats but that is one sexy goat.
This one’s a sheep though 😄
Oh good I’m still not a goat guy.
Looks pretty metal either way.
Ikr - these are horns, exquisite horns
Some call them horns, others handlebars.
Is this you john oliver?
Wouldst thou like the taste of butter?
A pretty dress?
Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
Dost thou like travel?
I hope no mad scientist ever plays with that gene 😅
No mad scientists, just regular scientists working on regular fruit flies. What could go wrong?
Well fuck
I, for one, do not want four horned fruit flies!
Yeah, it is pretty nightmare fuelish, but the advances in developmental biology that came from those studies was amazing. Interesting how the formation of different organisms can follow very similar processes.
I wonder if I can get a 4 horned goat skull off craigslist considering I am surrounded by farm land… 🤔 Shit would be a bitchin decoration.

Checkmate, asatanists…
You look at that and just immediately know what music it likes. Hansen.
Ironically, I’m wearing my Baphomet t-shirt today (from John Romero’s Sigil big box) and I just realized that the goat-headed one only has 2 horns!
This is the design on the shirt:
What a shame, someone get this demon a mutation quick!
