Pig In China Born With Two Heads And Three Eyes

Pigs still might not be able to fly but apparently they have no problem being born with two heads.

A piglet born in the capital of eastern China’s Jiangxi Province, Nanchang, was born with two noses, two mouths, three eyes and a pair of conjoined heads.

The pig was part of a litter of 10 and was the only one of the bunch to have bonus body parts.

“The others were normal, except this one,” said farmer Du Gensheng.

 Veterinarians say that the pig’s condition, called polycephaly, will make it difficult for it to survive. Gensheng seems to agree.

‘When it tries to suckle the milk, it hesitates about which mouth to suckle the bosoms,” Gensheng said. “And sometimes one mouth wants to suck this bosom, while the other mouth tries another bosom, and then both failed.”

It was recently reported that Britain would be exporting about $74 million worth of pig semen to China, where the quality and yield of pig stock has been declining even as pork consumption continues to grow.
