Pigs taught how to play piano, ish

Zoo conservation student Katie Mason has taught her pet porkers Rupert and Penny to tinkle a toy piano made by Fisher Price.

Pig playing piano

The five-month-old piglets wait for a command before sitting on their hind legs and bashing the keys with their trotters and snouts.

Katie, 25, keeps the pigs at her parents' farm in Manaton, Devon, and is now teaching her pupils to play the tambourine.

'It's not exactly Beethoven yet – they can't hold a tune – but they're just babies.'
