An extra mouth to feed

This tiny porker has an excuse for making a pig of himself at mealtimes - he really does have two mouths to feed.

The two-month-old youngster - part of a litter born on a farm in Deshengtang, Jilin province, northern China - can use both his mouths to eat and appears otherwise normal, say his owners.

Farmer Li Zhenjun and his wife Yu Wanfen named the piglet Xiaobao - or 'Babe' in English - after the movie about an extraordinary talking pig.

Li explained: "The mouths aren't much of an advantage because his head is very heavy and he gets pushed around by the others.

"I'm feeding her with a bottle now and she's doing very well."
