Octopig: A pig with extraâ€¦everything

//02 Jul 2007

By

A piglet born in Croatia with six legs and two penises has been nicknamed Octopig.

Owner Ivica Seic came up with the nickname, daily newspaper Vecernji List reported.

The farmer from the village of Vrpolje said Octopig also has two anuses, and was growing so fast they had decided to keep him as a pet.
Ivica said: "Who knows, maybe we can breed more although the two penises might be a problem."
