No, it’s impossible to unsee it.

This is a little piglet with a deformed face, from Zhijin, in Guizhou province of China. According to Sina, it was one of eight recently born to a family in a village local to the area. Its snout is turned up and his eyes are exposed, which along with a big jaw kind of makes it look like a monkey. It is just a deformity though, not any sort experiment crossing pig and monkey DNA or anything.

We don’t know much more about it, but we hope it’s doing well. It seems to be feeding ok, and its unorthodox features aren’t getting in the way of tucking into some milk.

Sure, it’s ugly, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts! We‘re it’ll grow up to be fine pig, and hope it is not rejected by its piglet brothers and sisters on account of its looks.
