'Gymnast' piglet born without hind legs learns to walk on two front trotters

If you think pig is lazy and would always sleep...you will need to think twice now! In China, a two-legged pig born without its hind legs has amazingly been taught to walk on its own!
The handicapped beast was born in July in eastern China's Anhui Province and could have struggled to make it through its first few weeks as a piglet, according to its owner.
But farmer Ge Xinping said he managed to nurse the piglet through its early life before helping it stand on its own (and only) two feet.
Hogging the limelight: The piglet carefully balances itself while walking on its two front legs

The young pig can carefully balance itself on its front two trotters and can walk around unaided.
The pig now also weighs a healthy 30kg, accoring to its owner.

Farmer Ge Xinping said: 'Villagers all love it as it walks like an upside down gymnast.'
The amazing sight is not the first time a Chinese farmer has managed to train a young pig with no hind legs to walk on its own.
Last year a 10-month-old animal, known by villagers in Henan Province, China as Zhu Jianqiang, which means Strong-Willed Pig, was born with only two front legs, which it now uses to walk on. This proves that pig is after all a strong willed animal as well and they don't just sleep and eat..
