Red Pig (2011)--China

This pig has quite a job to do, just keeping balanced. But it has managed to survive and learned to walk. It even achieving a weight of 30 kilograms.

Perhaps this pig believes like the pigs in the novel Animal Farm: "Four legs good, two legs better!"

You can see the pig on video here.

Zhu Jianqiang (2010)--China

This little pig may not being going to market. After surviving being born without hind legs she learned to get around and become something of a celebrity. As of this 2010 report she weighed 50 kilograms and was earning more as an attraction than she ever would as bacon.

It seems that, for this pig, a 'can do' attitude turned a disability into a life-saving career!

Putol (2009)--Philippines

You can see another two-legged piglet's walking method on this video from the Philippines. Apparently Putol is still alive and well today!

Wow, I'm amazed that they're able to hold their own weight.
