monkey became a brief tourist
sensation in the city of Ciego de Avila
in central Cuba as people came from
across the region to witness its
baffling deformity.
The facial deformity resulted in the
mutant pig having a
simian jaw, a
considerably shorter snout and a
protruding forehead so that it
resembled a monkey.
Images and a video posted online of
the unusual creature being held by its
owner quickly went viral, sparking
conversations on what caused the
defect.
The pig died after just four days due to
the congenital defect, according to
local media.
One of the explanations given for the
deformity is holoprosencephaly - a
brain development disorder that can
cause the failure of eyes to properly
separate, according to the Daily Mail.
Others have blamed environmental
pollution for the animal’s strange
appearance.
