A piglet has been born in China with a human-like face and a ‘penis’ on its head.

Photos of the animal have been widely shared on social media, showing the animal with its tongue lolling out as it yawns or gasps for breath.

Its ears are flat against its head and its eyes are bulbous, however the facial feature which has drawn most attention is the ‘phallus’ protruding over its face.


Although the video has gone viral, it is not clear where it came from, what caused the deformities or whether the young animal survived.

Many have speculated online that pollution could have led to the pig being born with such a strange appearance.

Earlier this year, another pig in China became famous after it was born deformed.

Zhong Xulong, a farmer, vowed to raise his two-headed piglet like he would any other.

‘Lots of people have come to see the pig,’ Xulong said. ‘Someone even offered £209 to buy it off us, but I refused.’
