This Pig Was Born With TESTICLES Instead of Eyes

A piglet has been born with 'testicles' instead of eyes.

A photo of the animal was posted online and shows the pig with two hairy egg-like bulges where its eyes should be.

The rest of the pig's face seems to have formed normally.

The incredible sow is the latest in a string of piglets seen across the world that have been born with an unbelievable and unusual deformity.

Last month footage emerged of a newborn piglet with a monkey face.

Last year there was a spate of deformed piglets born with penises on their heads.

It's believed the deformities are a result of nutritional issues, poisoning, infectious agents, abnormal metabolisms or hereditary defects.

The photo was uploaded by Redditer angryarcher who revealed that the piglet was quickly euthanised.

“I’m not even sure if it was male or female,” they wrote. “I do know that it was born alive but probably brain dead.”

They also responded to the claims from other users who were sceptical the bumps were testicles.

“For all the people claiming this is impossible I can guarantee it is,” the poster said.

“With the amount of inbreeding and billions of pigs born in the U.S. both in the commercial and breeding side of the industry, mutations happen.

“It's the same with people, enough are produced that some are born with extra appendages or even chromosomes.
