Mutant pig born with ‘elephant trunk’ stuns villagers who are providing round-the-clock care to keep it alive

Residents in a remote Thai village are bottle feeding the three-day-old creature after it was unable to suckle its mother

A mutant pig was born looking more like a baby elephant – with a tiny TRUNK hanging from its face.

The three-day-old creature stunned villagers when it was born in remote Nakhon Phanom province, Thailand, on the Laos border last Saturday.

Residents noticed the male pig’s deformed face and the strange trunk hanging from his forehead between his tiny eyes.

But the youngster was unable to suckle its mother and the residents began providing round-the-clock care for the pig by bottle-feeding it milk.

A mutant pig was born looking more like a baby elephant – with a tiny TRUNK hanging from its face.

The three-day-old creature stunned villagers when it was born in remote Nakhon Phanom province, Thailand, on the Laos border last Saturday.

Residents noticed the male pig’s deformed face and the strange trunk hanging from his forehead between his tiny eyes.

But the youngster was unable to suckle its mother and the residents began providing round-the-clock care for the pig by bottle-feeding it milk.

Local farmer Nisaa Seehala, 34, said: “The young pig did not have any strength. He was so weak and couldn’t reach his mother.

“He came out of the womb deformed or handicapped and looks like a little elephant. He doesn’t know it though, I feel so sorry for him.

“He is a wild pig but everyone has been amazed that he looks like an elephant. I wanted to record it to show as evidence of the natural world.'”
