Pig with two snouts 'eats twice as much as its brothers and sisters'

A greedy little piglet from northern China is making the most of eating double

the amount of her brothers and sisters – because she has two snouts.

This little piggy was born with the deformity of having two functioning mouths.

Its owner, farmer Bai Xuejin said: 'We knew something was different because her head was so large we had to help when her mother gave birth.

'I've been raising pigs for 15 years and I've never seen anything like this before.'

The squealer could not suckle its mother because of its unique facial figure, so Mr Xuejin had to raise it by hand until it was old enough to eat solid food.

'Both mouths function normally and so she eats and drinks through both of them which means she gets through a lot more food than her brothers and sisters,' he added.

Mr Xuejin, from Zhangjia in the Jilin province, is planning on saving her from the chop and putting her on show at his farm because people are fascinated by her.

He said: 'She is too special to end up on a plate.'

Camel swallows woman in pedicure mishap

Camels are well known for their voracious appetites - but this takes the biscuit 

(along with the vet who was feeding it to him). 

You'd think the fact that this camel appears to be eating a female vet would be weird enough for this picture.

But apparently, according to the agency who supplied this image, it shows the animal 'getting ready for a pedicure' in the United Arab Emirates.

Now - we all know camels, the 'Ships of the Desert' - are an important part of people's lifestyles in the Middle East. But a pedicure?! Really? 

Don't even ask why the vet needs to climb into the camel's mouth to give it a pedicure - last time we checked, that was for nails.

As an afterthought - it must be pretty smelly in there. 

This weird picture actually comes from a photo competition to mark the World Veterinary Year, used to highlight the important role vets play in the lives of people and animals across the world.

The vet being eaten by a camel came top of the 2,500 global entries, and we can see why.

It's certainly better than second place (not shown here), entitled 'Gorilla holding hands with vet'. Boring. Give us
