    Video: Pig learns to walk upright on its front legs

    Below is an incredible video of a pig born without its hind legs that has learned to walk on its front legs. And while that might sound like an arduous and sad struggle, it actually turns out to be pretty amazing--and more than a little inspirational. The pig doesn't just hobble around on its front legs--it hoists up its entire body like a gymnast.

    The soon-to-be famous boar was born in China's eastern Anhui Province, where its owner Ge Ximping said, "It took lots of time and devotion but now all villagers love him."

    The video is worth checking out for the visuals alone--but also be sure to listen to the adorable little guy snort as he races around his neighborhood.

      Now if only our politicians would be that smart....
      • PSUSteeler 5 mths ago
        Well, I'm not a big fan of political banter on a non-political story, but when it's neutral and blames all politicians, then it's fine with me.

        Not only is this comment not very nice, the author has omitted reference to several other members of the same species, like for example Paris Hilton. Let's give credit where credit is due!

      Awwww, what a good boy. I'm not surprised though, I have a pet potbellied pig and he's smart as a whip. They really are awesome animals.
      • Pup Tent 5 mths ago
        I agree! I had a pot belly that lived to be 14 y/o. She problably would have lived longer, but I live in FL the heat really affects them. I would have another pig in a second. They are totallly amazing animals. She ruled my dogs and was the hit of the neighborhood! She was incrediably intelligent and funny.

        Pigs are the smartest animals in the world.

      for some unknown reason to me this story gave me a good feeling.anyone else? any explain
    • sarah  •  5 mths ago
      Lucky pig (in that it has two legs). The pigs that run America don't have a single leg to stand on.
    • Cynthia W  •  Jacksonville, United States  •  5 mths ago
      This pig is an inspiring treasure!
    • Jimmy  •  5 mths ago
      Haha, anybody thinking about Animal Farm by George Orwell?
    • Bee  •  Davenport, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Hey! Pigs are intelligent, unlike the kartrashidans.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  5 mths ago
      That's cute and all, but the owner really should outfit that pig with some hind wheels the way that it is done with dogs afflicted similarly.
    • George  •  Chicago, United States  •  5 mths ago
      I see pigs walking on two feet at work everyday ...
    • Marty  •  New York, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Interesting video, they really should get a harness with wheels for the pig but its amazing what animals can do to compensate for their loss of limbs!!!
    • devon c  •  5 mths ago
      It seems animals will never cease to amaze us! Especially pigs- they're so smart!
    • Annie  •  Phoenix, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Pigs walking on two feet? An octopus walking on land? What is going on!?
    • Wanda  •  Lake City, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Amazing.Little fellow figured out how to do this.It shows all of God's creatures have value I bet some farmers would have knocked him in the head because he wasn't born perfect.This video is very inspiring.
    • Butch  •  5 mths ago
      great little pup, what a heart.
    • KAT  •  Los Angeles, United States  •  5 mths ago
      This is sad. It demonstrates how badly this animal/being wants to live. I wish I had farmland. I would adopt him and get him a sling that they use for disabled dogs. This is a real example of a soul that wants to survive. My heart goes out to him. I hope the people in his life will be merciful and kind.
    • R U serious  •  Richardson, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Ahhh poor guy...somebody needs to fix him a cart with wheels. If he gets really big that added weight on his front legs might cause damage....I've seen them done for other animals so why not a pig.

      It is inspiring to see kindness at work and that good people are in every culture.
