Shocking Photos of a Pig Born with a 'Human Face'

A tragically-mutated piglet born with 'a face like a human's' has died not long after birth - but now collectors are keen to buy the animal's remains. The extraordinary-looking creature was recently born on a Chinese farm and when pictures of it circulated online, owner Tao Lu was flooded with offers to buy the creature. 

The farmer decided to keep the deformed pig in the hope of turning it into a lucrative tourist attraction - but sadly the animal died after being rejected by its mother and refusing to feed from a bottle. With its beak-life face, huge eyes and peculiar growth on its forehead, the unfortunate newborn was almost indistinguishable as a pig in its short life. See more pics after the cut.
