Monkey-faced Piglet - Photo

While all the other little piggies will be going to market, this freak little piggy from China will stay at home – for fear that nobody will buy a walking bacon sandwich with the face of a monkey. Curious locals flocked to the home of owner Feng Changlin after news of the piglet spread in Fengzhang village, Xiping township. “It’s hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it!” Feng told Oriental Today.

He says the piglet looks just like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk. Feng’s wife said the monkey-faced piglet was one of five newborns of a sow which the family had raised for nine years.

“My God, it was so scary. I didn’t known what it was. I was really frightened,” she said. “But our son likes to play with it, and he stopped us from getting rid of it. He even feeds it milk.” Neighbours have suggested the couple keep the piglet to see how it looks as it matures
