A babe pig was born with not one but two snouts. And while it might sound like a joke, it’s no laughing matter.
The two-month-old 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 two mouths aren’t much of an advantage because his head is very heavy and he gets pushed around by the others.”
He said, “I’m feeding him with a bottle now and he’s doing very well.”
有一只小豬仔,它出生時就不是長著一張嘴,而是兩張。雖然這聽起來像是玩笑,但卻是千真萬確的事。
這只現有兩個月大的豬仔出生在中國北方吉林省德盛堂村的一個農場里。它的主人說,這只豬仔可以用它的任意一張嘴進食,而且其他方面看起來都正常。
根據一部關于一只會說話的奇異小豬的電影,農民李振軍和他的妻子于萬芬給這只小豬取名叫“小寶”,即英語里 “寶貝”的意思。
李振軍解釋說:“兩張嘴并不占什么優勢,因為這使它的頭非常重,別的豬都對它推來搡去的?!?/p>
他說:“現在我用瓶子給它喂食,它的狀況非常好。”
