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.
The piglet carefully balances itself while walking on its two front legs |
The pig now also weighs a healthy 30kg, accoring to its owner.

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..
The young pig had struggled in early life but has grown up and learned to walk on its own |
