Looking like the product of an unlikely bedroom link up between an elephant and a pig, this freak piglet caused heads to turn on a farm in China.

The peculiar porker could be straight out of cult American cartoon South Park.

The potty-mouthed animation once included an episode titled 'An Elephant Made Love To A Pig'.

Thankfully the bizarre-looking creature was not an example of life imitating art.

Despite it's trunk-like snout, no elephants were involved in the production of the piglet, which was one of eight born to a 550-pound sow in north-eastern China.

Sadly, the poor pig was born without a mouth and died two hours after it was born.

Farm owners froze the creature to preserve it.

Back in August, China witnessed another freakish birth when a piglet was born with six legs and eight feet.
