Piglet with monkey's face
Villagers were shocked after a monkey-like piglet was born in China.
Curious locals flocked to the home of owner Feng Changlin after news of the piglet spread in Fengzhang village, Xiping township.
"It's hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it!" Feng told Oriental Today.
He says the piglet looks just like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk.
Feng's wife said the monkey-faced piglet was one of five newborns of a sow which the family had raised for nine years.
"My God, it was so scary. I didn't known what it was. I was really frightened," she said.
"But our son likes to play with it, and he stopped us from getting rid of it. He even feeds it milk."
Neighbors have suggested the couple keep the piglet to see how it looks as it matures.

Poodle Driving Car
A Chinese couple received a police caution for trying to teach their dog to drive.
Traffic police at Liunan spotted a car driving too slowly on a local expressway, reports Nanguo Morning Post.
As they pulled in behind the car, officers were amazed to see a poodle with its front legs on the steering wheel.
The dog's rear legs were resting on the woman driver who was controlling the foot pedals.
"We immediately signaled the car to pull over," said one of the patrolling officers.
The woman says she and her boyfriend came up with the idea of teaching their pet dog, Niu Niu, to drive after noticing the expressway was nearly empty and the weather was good.
Police gave them a warning ticket and asked them to take a more responsible attitude when driving on the expressway.

Back seat lovers survive cliff plunge
Two lovers ended up in hospital in Taiwan after their car plunged 150ft down a cliff face as they made love in the back seat.
Lin Gu, 25, and lover Lee Shin, 29, were left with broken bones and bruises after their car toppled over the edge of a hill in XinDian, reports Today News.
A spokesman for police who were called by witnesses said: "They had parked up close to the edge of the mountain and had left the handbrake off.
"When they started having sex the rocking motion started the car moving and it rolled off the hill. They were lucky they were not more seriously hurt."
The two lovers had driven to a deserted mountain road and parked but their movements made the car topple over the edge and roll down to the bottom of the valley.
Despite their injuries - and being covered with mud and grass - the couple managed to clamber back up to the road where the woman asked the man to keep walking while she sought help at a nearby house.
Homeowner Chen Chenggang said the woman pleaded with him not to reveal how the accident happened as her husband "would definitely sue for divorce".
