Cyclops, Pig with 2 Snouts and 3 Eyes

By Alex in Animals & Pets on Jan 25, 2008 at 4:01 am

Remember Choppy the two faced pig? He’s got a friend: Cyclops.

Born in Huimen village, Menla County, China, the piglet was unable to take milk from its mother, forcing farmer Yang Qiaofen to feed it using the mouths it had on either side of its head.

As well as the extra mandibular equipment, the puzzling porcine was blessed with an extra eye in the middle of its forehead, earning it the nickname "Cyclops". [...]

While it is able to feed – "both mouths can drink at the same time," noted a surprised Yang, who is feeding it on powdered milk – it is unable to stand properly.

“Cyclops”? But it has 3 eyes. “Tricyclops”!

That’s crazy. It’s like the cat with two mouths and four eyes. Two of the eyes joined into a third eye in the middle. Kind of like the flounder fish’s eyes migrating to one side. This pig kind of looks like the cyclops from Krull.

Proving once and for all that all the “lead hysteria” involving China is soooooo overblown.

I wonder whether it’s China’s pollution (which is undoubted) or just because China’s so large that there’s a larger pool of event from which to draw weird examples.

It’s not really a cycopic pig; it’s a dicephalic pig with two faces sharing a single cranium and brain. It probably won’t live very long no matter what the farmer does.
