Monkey Magic

Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Villagers in China have been shocked by the birth of a monkey-like piglet that can jump.

The piglet looks like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk.

The monkey-faced piglet was one of five newborns of a sow that was raised for nine years by a family in the Xiping Township, Shanxi Province.

"It's hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it," says Feng Changlin, as reported in Oriental Today.

"But our son likes to play with it, and he stopped us from getting rid of it. He even feeds it milk."

RALPH suggests the Changlin family keep the piglet in case Monkey Magic producers resurrect the TV series.

A monkey-like jumping pig? Before long it will be climbing and jumping from tree to tree. The proverbial "when pigs fly...." day has arrived! Of course it's got a career in showbiz, it's already hit the big time appearing in "Ralph - stuff"
LOL that animal looks like my sister
Oh my god. That there is a new species. It's more like a human crossed with a pig. Why do all these freakish things happen in Asia. Tree people, Babies with 8 limbs, Human Pig Monkeys. Poor old Asia, I am dredding the opening ceromony. The thoughts of a travelling freak show is coming to mind
where can i get one. he is sooooo cute
Just pop one of those glorious little accidents in the arms of a wealthy heiress and you've got yourself a sweet new "it-pet". Or an interesting bacon sandwich.
Im not sure what they get up to in china but i think someones been doing the monkey dance with the pig, either a monkey or maybe a descendant of one! Ugliest pig i have ever seen, maybe it could get a part in a Genetic Science Fiction movie!
