In China, a mutated ріɡ was born displaying facial features resembling a monkey’s

A pig has given birth to a terrifying looking offspring that’s described as having the face of a monkey.

The rather strange-looking animal was born in a litter of 15 piglets in Guizhou Province, China, on December 3.

But unlike its siblings, the creature cannot feed on its own so its owner is forced to bottle feed it.

Adorable? The mutant pig has piqued the Internet’s curiosity as it remains unclear what the pig will look like grown-up

 

 

Due to the shape of its mouth, the animal cannot suckle like the other piglets in the litter

The animal is described as having two holes as the nose and an overbite that leaves its long tongue protruding from its mouth.

Its two eyes, of different sizes, also stick out from its head.

Due to the shape of its mouth, the animal cannot suckle like the other piglets in the litter.

 

 

The owner, a vegetable farmer, has been feeding the creature milk each day, People’s Daily reported.

It is unclear what the piglet will grow up to look like or whether it will survive for long but its appearance has stirred hot debate in China.

One 163.com, several people blamed pollution while others also blamed genetically modified foodstuffs for the mutation.

However, many people also joked that the pig ‘had an affair’.

Mutant pigs have been cropping up around the world.

MailOnline previously reported on a mutant pig who was born with a penis-like growth on its forehead in Nanning, China.

Meanwhile, another pig was born in a rural part of southwest China with two snouts and three eyes.

There were also instances of a human-like pig or the two-headed pigs being born in the country.

The farmer decided to keep the piglet in the hope of turning it into a lucrative tourist attraction – but sadly the animal died after being rejected by its mother and refusing to feed from a bottle
