In the viral footage, a man is spotted holding the hairy pig in a blanket before lifting it up to the camera. According to the video, the pig was over three hours old when it was recorded, which is approximately three days before the video went viral. The mutant piglet was born amongst the normal pigs.
The reasons behind the mutant pig being so badly deformed are still unclear. However, in other South American countries, it has been linked with the excessive use of pesticides. The bizarre video has gone viral in Venezuela where it caused a substantial stir. Reportedly, the mutant pig has breathing problems because of its facial deformities. As of now, the piglet is still alive but there are no clear results on how long it will survive.
