A piglet with three eyes and two snouts has become the talk of the town in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur.
Joven Ampo, who owns a farm supply store, said one of his customers called him up Monday to inform him about the unusual piglet, which was born in a litter of eight last Saturday. The seven other piglets were normal, he said.
The owner entrusted the care of the piglet to Ampo, an Animal Science graduate. He said it was unusual to find an abnormal piglet surviving for two days, as he had seen other unusual piglets that died almost immediately after birth.
“Tinutulungan namin siyang sumuso sa nanay dahil mabigat yung ulo niya. Susubukan namin na buhayin siya dahil sayang naman," (We are helping the piglet nurse from its mother because he can’t hold his head up on his own. We’ll try to keep him alive) he said.
The unusual piglet weighs about the same as the other piglets in the litter. - Candice Montenegro/YA, GMANews.TV
