If I am not mistaken, I can post links and write warning above.

While posting links and including a warning is better than posting the images directly into the forum, I would very much prefer that people don't post links to sites that are potentially offensive.

Sorry LO. I felt that a photo is worth thousand words. I couldn't express the image better than the image itself. What do you think about them anyway?

My guess is that some people are being swindled in a made up religious ceremony.

I think lionking's behavior is defensible. She appears legitimately to want to know how we might interpret the pictures, whether we have any insight as to how they may have come about, and possibly whether we are able to determine whether they are genuine photographs. But because the subject matter is somewhat graphic, she has responsibly warned those who may not want to see them. I would have acted differently myself only in being more specific about what viewers might find offensive (e.g., "Warning: graphic image," or "Warning: male nudity", or "Warning: images of surgery" -- that sort of thing). Some people might not be bothered at all by male nudity, but would not (for example) want to see crime scene photographs depicting the result of violence or injury.
I can't identify the object in the photograph, nor can I detect any clear signs of forgery or manipulation. I see some suspicious bits suggesting alteration, but not enough to make me consider that the photos may be fake.

just to add where I have heard about similar issues somewhere else. It was in school. My school was christian and they had a mission to teach students to refuse anything that they think is outside Christian religion. I don't know from wherethe teacher brought his info, but he said those who practice Mantras or meditation and repeat certain names of gods have had children with animal like features. I don't know where he researched the issue, but I just wanted to gather the information that I heard about. I would like to know , however, the scientific explanation of all this. We can't marry donkeys, nor can we have their genes like being evolved from them. what an idea! we were donkeys at some time but if these photos ar genuine, they should be studied by scientists and should be given scientific explanations, or else people would start gathering around them and do religious ceremonies. I want to send these photos to someone who can give a scientific idea about them [by the way, the poster who posted them in another forum said the creature was found in Thailand]. Do you have any suggestions as to where we can send them? thnx

His information is just ignorant prejudice or outright lies. Ignorance and lies are available to all humans without religious or cultural bounds.
I do not find these photos to be offensive, don't know what is in them and personally wouldn't spend much time to find out. But I applaud those that inquire about these thing more than I have the patience for.

Please suggest any institution which I can send the photos to by mail. thanks

If that story's true then wouldn't it make more sense to conclude it's an improperly developed calf?

While I applaud you desire to find an answer, pictures simply are not enough to determine what the object is. It could be a lot of things including a many varieties of hoax. What we can be sure of is that among the least probable answers would be any kind of animal/human hybrid.
