Gao said he had “never ever seen anything like it” after the pig was born with underdeveloped skin and numerous extra limbs.
Gao, who lives in Fe County in Linyi City in China’s eastern Shandong Province, spotted the little piglet among the rest of the sow’s litter after they were born.
He said the animal kicked and struggled, and Gao had planned to hand-rear it before it suddenly stopped breathing.
“Besides having one head, two bodies and eight legs, the piglet appeared normal and had all other organs,” Gao said.
Gao buried the piglet on his farm – after showing it to curious residents living nearby.
