Oct 2, 2010: Zhu Jianqiang

Zhu Jianqiang is Chinese for, "you can't eat a special pig all at once".
Would I lie to you... my oldest and dearest friends... if it didn't involve money or sex?
OK, Zhu Jianqiang really means, "Strong-willed Pig".
Because it was born without hind legs, Farmer Wang Xihai taught it to walk on it's two front legs.



Quote:
He said: "My wife asked me to dump it but I refused as it's a life. I thought I should give it a chance to survive and unexpectedly it survived healthy." Several days after its birth Wang decided to train the two-legged piglet to walk by lifting it up by its tail.

He said: "I trained her for a while each day. After 30 days she can now walk upside down quite well." Wang said since the birth of the pig, which currently weighs 50kg (110lbs), his home has been besieged by visitors.
I guess they don't have cable there.

Like the two legged dog you've seen on the net, animals aren't smart enough to figure out what they can't do, so they do what they can, instead of holding a telethon.

He's actually got pretty good weight distribution, better than about any other animal that size. A dog would have way more body behind the legs than in front. But this guy seems to have a lot of neck and a big head.

they always say pigs are smart. Didn't know they discovered anti-grav though!

So every time the pig takes a crap, the sudden weight loss from one end causes him to fall onto his nose.

Well... Yes... But that's the end he eats from, so soon, all is in balance again.

Around 20 mins ago on a thread on this forum, I posted a comment that the "Old Brits" pic would probably always be my favorite on this board.

Then I found this. LMAO!

If there is a senior moderator here, please roll back my user alias back to "Neophyte In Training". Thank you.
