-Strange [but beautiul] nature-
This unusual Sheep Pig is called a Mangalitzasis. Originally found in Hungary and Austria, the "sheep pigs" have woolly coats to protect them from the elements expected in these regions. The sheep pig could also be found in Great Britain 40 years ago, called the Lincolnshire Curley. Unfortunately they are a dying breed and extremely rare to see in modern times!

Lamp or Bacon? Who's to tell :)

New discovery, I enjoyed reading it maybe the sheep and the pig made love with each other. thats why the "Mangalitzasis" came out.
