After news started to spread through the Yanan township of southern China’s Nanning City of this newborn mutant pig, some friends and neighbours headed over to Tao Lu’s farm to check out the animal for themselves.
One of the neighbours took this image of the pig and uploaded it onto the Internet, where it immediately went viral.

“I was one of a dozen people who went there to see the piglet and it really did have a human face and exactly like he said, a willie growing out of its forehead,” said Wu Kung when he uploaded the images.
Almost as fast as the image went viral, Tao Lu claims he started getting numerous offers from people all over the world to buy the unusual specimen.
Unfortunately, the piglet didn’t live for very long because its mother rejected it and Tao Lu wasn’t able to get it to feed from a bottle.
“It was a large litter, and the mutant was one of the last of 19 piglets to be born,” said Tao Lu. “All the others were normal; just this one was really bizarre.”
“It’s a shame it died,” he added. “I could have got more money for it than for the rest of the family put together based on what people were offering me on the phone!”
Apparently he had been planning on using the mutant pig to attract visitors to his farm and charge for tickets, but obviously that’s no longer an option.
