Today in animals: There is such thing as a sheep-pig.

Because it is 4/20, and I’m a nice person, I’m going to warn anyone who might be reading under the influence to skip this post and continue reading all of the other wonderful material we have here on PopWatch. Because watching this video might result in a serious freak-out. Why? Because it shows a sheep-pig. Yes, a sheep-pig. Apparently, this breed of animal — one of three — exists in the UK. And it wasn’t bred from one of Dr. Mephisto‘s crazy experiments. I think.

Who else loves that the co-anchors are trying to pretend they’re not petrified of this animal? Now let’s make some suggestions for some hybrid animals. Penguin-fox? Crocophant? Sharktopus? (Oh, that one is already threatening humanity.)

    Amazing, my first thought was what does it taste like?

  • Todo

    What the eff is that thing? It’s terrifying but also amazing. I want one. Sorta.

    And a spider-pig a la The Simpsons Movie would be interesting. Same with a Kanga-crab. Head and body of a kangaroo, claws and legs of a crab with a bitchin kangaroo tail. Gotta be bright red though.

    Omg.

    I FIND THAT VERY DISTURBING.

    It’s a sweater and a BLT rolled into one…

    No video, no reputability. Sorry, but that could have easily been photoshopped.

    • Todo

      That is very true. If it was photoshopped, I’m going to be very angry. But mostly relieved.

      It’s not photo shopped these pigs have been around for along time they are very rare and almost extinct

    It’s not a hybrid. It says in the video explicitly that it’s a breed of pig. It’s native to Hungry. BTW, pig-sheep hybrid is not biologically possible. These two animals are not similar enough, genetically, to be crossed.

    I find this greatly disturbing

    I’m thinking this is one of the BBC’s infamous April Fool’s Day stories (a la spaghetti farmers) that has somehow gained credence. Note they didn’t show it moving?

  • Rebecca

    This is not actually a sheep/pig hybrid. It’s just a woolly breed of pig.

  • Cris

    Yes, but is there a ManBearPig?

  • LOL

    This is a picture of a Rush Limbaugh listener.
