Two-mouthed pig born in China

This tiny porker has an excuse for making a pig of himself at mealtimes - he really does have two mouths to feed.

The two-month-old youngster - part of a litter born on a farm in Deshengtang, Jilin province, northern China - can use both his mouths to eat and appears otherwise normal, say his owners.



Farmer Li Zhenjun and his wife Yu Wanfen named the piglet Xiaobao - or 'Babe' in English - after the movie about an extraordinary talking pig.

Li explained: "The mouths aren't much of an advantage because his head is very heavy and he gets pushed around by the others. I'm feeding her with a bottle now and she's doing very well."

You'd think the Chinese would get the idea that there may be too much pollution with all these aberrant births, human and animal alike.
