The pig with the face of a monkey

While all the other little piggies will be going to market, this little piggy from China will stay at home – for fear that nobody will buy a walking bacon sandwich with the face of a monkey.

Locals from Fengzhang village in Xiping have been amazed by the sight of this freak piglet with two thin lips, a small nose and two large eyes.

And with forelegs shorter than its rear legs, the poor little swine hops rather than trots.

Farmer Feng Changlin told Oriental Today: "It's hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it!"

Forget Homer Simpson’s Spider Pig - this snoutless, porky face is truly one only Mother Nature could love.
