A farmer in Holland has installed a mud slide for his pigs after being inspired by the flumes at a water park.

Erik Stegink mounted a disused slide he had bought from a nearby pool on his farmland.

And in no time at all his pigs were enjoying their own amusement park, but instead of water they were diving into mud.

Pictures of the pigs on the slide have proved to be a hit online, with many commenting on how much fun the animals looked like they were having.

Elana Zak was also impressed and added: ‘Need a smile? One of the photos of the day is of a pig going down a slide.’
