Mutant piglet born with a 'penis' on its head

Baffling footage has emerged online showing a 'mutant piglet' with a human like face and a penis on its forehead. In the bizarre video, that has been shared widely on Chinese social media, a yawning pig like creature is held aloft by a man. 

The animal can be seen grasping for breath and looks in a distressed state throughout the clip. The man in the video proceeds to squeeze some skin, that is in the same mold as a penis, protruding from the pig's forehead.  Many on social media have begun speculating on the causes of the pig's deformities although it still remains unknown when and where the video originated.

Some say the problems were caused by environmental pollution.  ‘Pigs got deformation, while human beings got cancer,’ said a user of the China's My Drivers webpage.  Another said the animal is ‘living proof of pig reincarnation.’ 

Last year photos were published online of another 'mutant pig' with a human like face and floppy skin in the shape of penis on its forehead however that animal died meaning the one sweeping social media this week is a new case. 

A farmer in the town of Yanan, Nanning, China claimed he received a number of cash offers for his deformed creature however the animal died after it was rejected by its mother and refused to be bottle fed, according to the Mirror. 

The creature was one of the last to be born in a litter of 19 said farmer Tao Liu.

'It was a large litter, and the mutant was one of the last of 19 piglets to be born,' said farmer Tao said of his pig.

'All the others were normal, just this one was really bizarre.' 

Tao admitted he wanted to put the pig on show for visitors and was disappointed it died as he '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.'

'I was one of a dozen people who went there to see the piglet, and it really did have human face and exactly like he said, a penis growing out of its forehead,' said eyewitness Wu Kung. 

Earlier this year in Cambodia a deformed piglet, that bared some resemblance to an elephant due its pink trunk like nose and large ears, was discovered, Daily Mail reports.
