Piglet With Monkey Face

A piglet is cute, a baby monkey is cute, but when a piglet is born with a monkey face, I wonder if it is wise to rear it. A piglet like this has been born to a family in rural China. This piglet is one of five piglets born; though the other four are born normal, thankfully.

I tell you, this animal is just so scary that pregnant ladies better don't look at it. Yet, there are local tourists travelling to the rural village of Fengzhang in Xiping where the owner, Feng Changlin and his family live.

I think it would be better to put it to sleep, even though I am an animal lover myself! One thing's for sure, this piglet, if it survives to adulthood, should not breed. What do you think? For the full news report, check out The Telegraph UK.

Pennywell Farm Miniature Piglets

I was reading The Telegraph (UK) online when I came across their compilation of cute animal stories around the world. I picked this to post on my blog because I personally love pigs.

When I was younger, I used to have a great collection of pig stuffed toys and glass decos and dreamt of keeping a pig as a pet. Of course, living in a regular residential area discounted that and my mother got fed up of my pig collection that she discarded them all one day.

Sigh... I stopped my obsession for pigs then and there.

In the following video, you could watch a litter of miniature pigs, just 5 inches long (there were a total of nine) which were born at Pennywell Farm, Devon, sometime in April, 2008. An appearance on American television has made them sudden celebrities. People were flocking to watch photos and videos of these piglets that the website which hosted them crashed!

They are simply too cute, aren't they?
