This piglet was born in the Pramaoy region of western Cambodia with a long trunk-like nose and large elephant-like ears but the little animal was very thin, limping and could not open its eyes.
A piglet with a genetic mutation has appeared in Cambodia, making it look like a hybrid between a pig and an elephant.
This piglet was born in the Pramaoy region of western Cambodia with a long trunk-like snout and large elephant-like ears. The little animal was very thin, limped and could not open its eyes. The images of this piglet make viewers both surprised and sympathetic.
It is not yet clear if the pig is still alive, and what caused its disfigurement.
Previously in 2014, a piglet with a similar appearance was born in Jilin, China, but only survived for 2 hours after birth.
The owner of the pig, a farmer, has frozen it to keep it as proof of its existence. Born at the same time as the mutant pig, there were seven other pigs, all healthy and normal.
A piglet with a similar appearance was also born in China in 2014.
Chinese farmers have frozen physical corpses to preserve and prove its existence
In June 2015, a sow in China gave birth to a piglet with a genetic variant that appeared severely deformed in appearance. The little pig looks a lot like a tapir – a herbivorous mammal with a pig-like body and long nose.
