Gorilla-Faced Piglet

This is the craziest thing that I've seen in a long time.... A pig born in Fengzhang village, Xiping township in China has the face of a gorilla!

The horrifically ugly creature is reported to have a simian jaw, bulging forehead, small snout and eyes that are so close together that they appear almost attached.

Its front legs are much shorter than its back legs, causing it top hop rather than walk on all fours like a normal piglet.

The piglet’s rare condition is thought to be caused by a form of holoprosencephaly, a brain development disorder that can cause cyclopia (the failure of eyes to properly separate).


By the way, if you're looking for a good show to watch, check out 'Weeds'! It's so much more than a show about marijuana.... The show starts with a recently widowed housewife selling marijuana to try to keep her family afloat, but the show has blossomed into so much more.... I just finished the fifth season (all five seasons are available on DVD), and I'm really excited about season six starting later in 2010! Every season just gets better and better!
