What is a Sheep-Pig?

Yes, I am not joking with that question, what is a Sheep-Pig? Does it even exist?

From the word itself, it looks like that this animal is a crossbreed between a Sheep and Pig. Well, yes and no. Sheep-Pig is a rare breed of pig. They are characterized with similar body structure of a pig, but the only difference with other breeds of pigs is that Sheep-Pigs are covered with wool, similar as to those of sheeps!

Sheep-Pigs were originally bred in Austria and Hungary. They are now considered as an endangered species. Three of these species were reintroduced in Tropical Wings Zoo in Essex, United Kingdom.

According to Denise Cox of the said Zoo;

“Everybody who walks past them stops because they want to know if they are pigs or sheep.

“We’ve got them here as part of a breeding programme to make sure this fascinating breed does not become extinct.”
