This Pig Has a Big Appetite

Photobucket

This little piggy was born with the deformity of having two functioning mouths.
Its owner, farmer Bai Xuejin said: 'We knew something was different because her head was so large we had to help when her mother gave birth.
'I've been raising pigs for 15 years and I've never seen anything like this before.'
The squealer could not suckle its mother because of its unique facial figure, so Mr Xuejin had to raise it by hand until it was old enough to eat solid food.
'Both mouths function normally and so she eats and drinks through both of them which means she gets through a lot more food than her brothers and sisters,' he added.
Mr Xuejin, from Zhangjia in the Jilin province, is planning on saving her from the chop and putting her on show at his farm because people are fascinated by her.
He said: 'She is too special to end up on a plate.'
