A petting zoo in Arizona claims to have a very rare animal on its farm called a “geep”, a goat-sheep hybrid.

The little geep named Butterfly was born in Scottsdale last month and surprised the owners as they didn’t know her mom was even pregnant. The extremely rare hybrid is normally delivered stillborn with the last geep born in California Valley in 2011. Geeps are conceived naturally and are not to be confused with artificially created breeds.

Since My Petting Zoo posted the photos of Butterfly to its Facebook page the pictures have gone viral. It’s not hard to see why since the little geep is so darn adorable.
