Legless pig learns to walk

A Chinese pig that was born without hind legs has finally learned how to walk.

Ge Xinping, a dedicated farmer from Mengcheng in the country's Anhui Province, has taught the creature how to walk on just his forelegs after initially fearing his prized animal would die shortly after birth.

The proud animal lover and the pig has now become the talk of the town, with villagers turning out in droves to catch a glimpse of the unique creature.

Ge said: "The villagers all love it as it walks like an upside down gymnast."
