A resident's home in Zhengzhou, Henan, China has become a tourist attraction after his female pig delivered a baby with only hind legs.

Many curious neighbours, friends and relatives have visited the home of the pig's owner, surnamed Song, every day since the birth. Song and his 5-year-old daughter, however, love the little piglet very much. They have resolved to teach the pig how to walk. Song, who has been raising pigs for decades, said he had never seen such a pig before.
