[www.keralites.net] Strange-looking 'sheep' that are actually woolly PIGS

 

Strange-looking 'sheep' that are actually woolly PIGS : - Mangalitsa is rare breed of pig which inhabits only a few farms in the UK.

From a distance, they could be mistaken for sheep - but these cute bundles of wool are in fact pigs.

 

They are worth around £1,000, five times the value of an ordinary pig and are fond of fruit and the odd tipple.
 

Mangalitsa pigs are much hardier than normal pigs and moult in the summer to prevent them getting too hot.
 

Unlike normal commercial pigs, they do not get sunburnt.
 

Hair from the pigs is particularly popular in the U.S. as it retains air bubbles under water, making it ideal for tying fishing flies.
