Sweet mercy! The thing looks like something from one of the Star Wars movies! So is this an example of monkey/pig crossbreading, or is it just a birth defect? Or maybe latent genes activating?

Looks like the ManBearPig to me.

They should call it Punkey or Mig.

Is this for real? The stuff of nightmares!

They don't know whether or not it will climb trees when it grows up...?

That's some birth defect. I don't even know what you would call that, maybe a veterinarian would. But I agree, I would keep it in observation... it might not have long to live.

Edit- There is a striking lack of information about swine birth defects on the internet. I'm shocked. I asked my mom what you would call that. She said "Monsters Inc.?" and then said "Craniofacial abnormality."

Striking lack of information about that in pigs online, too.

am I the ONLY person who thinks the bright white color around the head makes that silly pic look totally photoshopped and fake????

What happened to the discerning minds of ATS?

Thats so fake its practically cardboard and your falling for this?

I am sure this is a fake. I say this because I am sure I saw a face like it in exactly the same angle on a forum a few years ago. The photo I think was posted in the midst of a flame war. I cannot prove this unless I go hunting through my old haunts and I wont because I just took a shower.

I'm sure this is real. Consider that this is China, rapidly becoming one of the most toxic environments on earth. We can look forward to many more genetic mutants from our Asian friends.

Wonder what it tastes like

it kinda looks fake to me but i don't know??

Doesn't look like a monkey headed pig, just a piglet with a terrible deformity.

and people are saying that it may be a crossbreed hah

Looks like an old sea captain to me. Just put a patch on one eye. The ol' pirate pig. ARGH..... snort.
