Piglet is the latest victim of Illinois' feral swine problem

ILLINOIS (WSIL) - A young piglet is the latest victim of Illinois' feral swine problem.

The porker was found on a farm near Murphysboro in Jackson County.

"It looked like it had been attacked by a dog or something," said the farmer, who didn't want to be identified. "There were chunks taken out of its side and its face was all bloody."

The farmer estimated the piglet was about six weeks old and weighed only 10 pounds.

Feral swine are an invasive species in Illinois that cause millions of dollars in damage to crops and property each year. Wildlife officials say the animals are also a health hazard because they can transmit diseases, such as swine flu, to humans and other animals.

In June, the state marked the first detection of a wild boar in Illinois in more than 200 years. The animal was killed by a hunter near Marshall in Clark County.

Swine conservation group protests against piglet petting zoos

A conservation group is protesting against piglet petting zoos, claiming that the facilities are promoting the false idea that it is acceptable to keep pigs as pets.

The Swine Conservation Group (SCG) has launched a petition calling for an end to piglet petting zoos, stating that they are "cruel and inhumane." The group says that the petting zoos "give people the wrong impression of pigs by teaching them that they are cute and docile creatures that can be kept as pets."

The SCG also argues that piglet petting zoos are bad for the animals involved, as they can often lead to the pigs being abandoned by their owners when they get too big. "Pigs are highly intelligent animals and deserve to be treated with respect," said a spokesperson for the SCG. "They should not be kept as pets, and certainly not in confinement at a petting zoo."

The petition has so far attracted over 1,000 signatures from people who support the SCG's stance on piglet petting zoos.

Study suggests piglets learn best through play

A recent study has shown that piglets learn best when they are playing. The research, carried out by the University of Lincoln, involved observing the behavior of 72 piglets which were housed in pairs.

The researchers found that the piglets which played together learned better and were more active than those which didn't play. They also found that the young pigs which played most learned fastest.

Speaking about the findings, study leader Dr Lisa Collins said "This research suggests that play may be an important part of learning for piglets and could have implications for their welfare." She added that the next step is to see if providing opportunities for play leads to improved welfare outcomes for pigs.

The discovery that pigs learn best through play is a welcome one, as it may help to improve their welfare in industrial farming conditions. It is hoped that further research will confirm this and lead to changes in how pigs are raised.

Dancing piglet becomes internet sensation

In a farm in the US state of Iowa, a dancing piglet has become an internet sensation. Footage of the little porker bopping around to music has been viewed millions of times online.

The piglet was first spotted by farmer Derek Klingenberg as he was moving his cattle. "I saw this little pig running around and thought it was so funny. I started filming it and then it started dancing," he told local media.

The pint-sized performer has since been christened Boogie by Mr Klingenberg's young daughter and the name has stuck. The video of Boogie busting some moves to Taylor Swift's Shake It Off has had over 9 million views on YouTube.

While some people have branded the Dancing Piglet a nuisance, most have found him simply adorable. One viewer remarked, "I don't care what anybody says, that is the cutest thing I have ever seen." Another said, "This little guy just made my day."

Boogie seems to be enjoying his moment in the spotlight, with Mr Klingenberg reporting that the piglet loves to dance and sometimes even copies the moves of his cows. It's fair to say that this little piggy has certainly got talent!

Tiny Piglet Born in Oregon Zoo

A tiny piglet has been born at the Oregon Zoo. This little piglet is the smallest one on record.

Weighing in at just over 1 pound, this tiny piglet is about the size of a chihuahua. She was born to momma Penelope and dad Pip on February 3rd.

The baby piglet is currently being kept warm and comfortable in an incubator until she is ready to be introduced to her family. Her parents are both healthy and thriving, so zoo officials are optimistic that the little piglet will grow up to be just fine.

This particular species of pig, the Visayan warty pig, is typically quite small. They can weigh anywhere from 30 to 55 pounds as adults. So this little piglet is definitely on the smaller end of the spectrum!

Visayan warty pigs are endangered, with only around 2,500 remaining in the wild. The Oregon Zoo is committed to helping preserve this species, and they will likely be breeding more of these tiny pigs in hopes of increasing their numbers.

Piglet Born Without a Nose!

A tiny piglet was born without a nose on a small family farm in Missouri. The poor little guy was the only one of his litter not to have a nose.

The farmer and his wife were unsure of what to do with the piglet, so they took him to the local veterinarian. The vet examined the piglet and told the couple that he could not survive without a nose.

The couple were heartbroken, but they knew that they had to find a home for their little piglet. They contacted several animal sanctuaries, but no one wanted to take in a piglet without a nose.

Finally, the couple reached out to a local rescue organization that specialized in helping animals with special needs. The organization agreed to take in the piglet and named him Piglet.

Piglet quickly became a favorite at the rescue organization. He was always happy and playful, despite his disability. He loved to play with his friends, especially the dogs and cats.

Piglet's story touched the hearts of people all over the world. He became an ambassador for special needs animals and encouraged others not to give up on them.

Thank you, Piglet, for reminding us that every life is worth saving!

Piglet Found Wandering in the Woods!

This morning, a small piglet was found wandering around in the forest near my house. Judging by the state of his muddy fur and the healthy-looking snacks he was carrying in his mouth, it's evident that he had been lost for some time.

After I caught the little guy, I took him inside and gave him a bath. I also put some food and water out for him, since he looked like he hadn't eaten in days. He ate ravenously, and then curled up on my bed to take a nap.

I'm going to try to find the owner of this adorable piglet, but in the meantime, he's welcome to stay with me!

Piglet Caught Eating Human Food!

Residents of the small town of Pigville were in shock recently when a young pig was caught eating human food. The pig, who has been given the name Piglet, was seen lurking around a group of people who were eating at a park in the town.

When confronted, Piglet ran away, but was quickly caught by police officers. The officers noted that Piglet had something in his mouth that looked like human food. When questioned, Piglet's owner said that he had been feeding the pig human food because he thought it would make him grow bigger.

Residents of Pigville are now calling for stricter laws governing the feeding of pigs human food. Some are even calling for the execution of Piglet for his crime. However, others are arguing that the young pig should be given a second chance and set free.

Yippie Ki-Yi-Yay, Piglet is a Cowboy

As a child, I always loved the "Winnie the Pooh" cartoons. I was particularly fascinated by Piglet, who was both timid and determined. I imagined myself in his place, tiptoeing through the forest and dodging danger.

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the actual Hundred Acre Wood in England. It was an amazing experience! The forest is just as beautiful as it appears in the cartoons, and it's even home to some real-life pigs.

I had so much fun exploring the forest that I decided to dress up as Piglet for my next cosplay. And let me tell you, it was a lot of fun! Everyone laughed and took pictures when they saw me out and about in Oxford.

If you're ever in England, be sure to visit the Hundred Acre Wood—it's a blast! And if you're looking for something fun to do, why not dress up as your favorite "Winnie the Pooh" character? It's a great way to show your fandom and have a good time too.

Run For Your Lives, Piglet is Loose!

It's been a quiet day on the farm until Farmer John heard a horrific squealing coming from the pig pen. He rushed over to find Piglet had busted out of his pen and was running wild around the farm!

Piglet was clearly enjoying himself, running amok and knocking over buckets, scattering straw and generally making a mess. Farmer John tried to catch him but Piglet was too fast for him. Poor Farmer John was getting more and more exhausted trying to chase after the little pig.

Eventually, Piglet tired himself out and stopped in a muddy puddle to take a nap. Farmer John was able to approach him slowly and catch him without any trouble. Whew! What an adventure!

Farmer John put Piglet back in his pen and repaired the fence so he couldn't get out again. He'll have to be more careful in the future or else Piglet might cause some real trouble on the farm.

What's Up, Doc? Piglet is a Veterinarian

Hello there! My name is Piglet, and I'm a veterinarian. I work with all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and cows. I love my job, and I love helping animals stay healthy and happy.

I went to veterinary school at Iowa State University, one of the top veterinary schools in the country. After I graduated, I worked in a small animal clinic for a few years, before moving on to my current job at a large animal clinic. I've been working here for about five years now, and I love it.

Working with animals is both challenging and rewarding. It's always satisfying when you're able to help an animal feel better or even save their life. I'm passionate about my work, and I know that animals are in good hands when they're under my care.

If you're thinking about becoming a veterinarian, be prepared for a lot of hard work and long hours. But it's definitely worth it! Veterinary medicine is a fascinating field, and there's nothing quite like helping an animal feel better. So if you have a love for animals and a desire to help them, veterinary medicine may be the perfect profession for you. Thanks for considering me, Piglet

Oh No, Not Again! Piglet Eats too Much

Piglet was his usual anxious self. He had seen the signs; too many acorns on the ground, too many bees buzzing around. There was only one thing to do when Piglet saw too many signs; eat until he felt better.

And so Piglet began to eat. First he ate the acorns, and then the bees. Soon he was so full that he could barely move. But Piglet felt better; he was no longer anxious.

Unfortunately, eating too much always made Piglet feel sick. And so it was that Piglet lay down in a field and vomited all of his food back up.

"Oh no, not again!" cried Piglet. "I should know by now not to overeat."

Piglet Born With Extra Legs Gets Second Chance

In a surprise twist, the piglet born with extra legs has been given a second chance by the farmer who owns her.

The piglet, which was abandoned by its mother shortly after birth because of the extra legs, was taken in by the farmer and given a makeshift home in one of his barns.

He has decided to keep her and is now feeding her by hand.

The farmer said: "I have never seen anything like this before and I didn't know what to do when I found her. But I couldn't just leave her to die, so I decided to take her in and care for her."

The piglet is thought to be about two weeks old and is still very weak, but the farmer is hopeful that she will pull through.

He added: "She's a fighter and she's got a good chance of making it if we can get enough food into her."

Piglet Born Without An Eye Gets New Home

When Piglet was born, he had a congenital defect that caused him to be born without an eye. His breeder, who did not want him to suffer, contacted a sanctuary to take him in.

The sanctuary took Piglet in and gave him the best possible care. However, they knew that he would need a permanent home eventually. They put out a call for help and thankfully, a family came forward to adopt him.

The family has been wonderful to Piglet and he is happy in his new home. He loves playing and chasing his siblings around. He is thriving despite his disability and is loved by everyone who meets him.

Piglet's story is a reminder that no matter what your circumstances are, you can always find happiness if you look for it. He is living proof that there is no such thing as a perfect pig - each one has their own unique personality and charm.

Residents of Allegheny County got quite a surprise on Monday morning when they saw a small pig walking around near a busy highway. Many drivers stopped to take pictures of the adorable little piglet, which was spotted near the intersection of Route 28 and I-79.

Some passerby even attempted to catch the little pig, but it was too quick for them and ran off into the woods. It's not clear where the pig came from or where it was going, but it's certainly been a source of amusement for people in the area.

This isn't the first time that a small pig has been spotted wandering around in Pennsylvania. In October of last year, a similar incident occurred in York County. It's not clear why these pigs are coming up so far north, but hopefully they can find their way back home soon.

Police Search for Owner of Lost Piglet

The Mystic Valley Regional Dispatch Center received a call earlier this week from a woman who had found a small piglet on the side of the road. The woman said she was unsure of what to do with the animal, and so she called the police for help.

When the police arrived at the scene, they were met by a small crowd of people who had also seen the lost piglet. The officers searched the area for any clues as to where the pig might have come from, but they were unable to find any leads.

In order to find the owner of the piglet, the police created a Facebook post asking for help. They included several photos of the animal in hopes that someone might be able to identify him.

The post was shared over 1,000 times, and eventually, someone came forward and claimed him. The police were able to return the piglet to his rightful owner later that day.

piglet Found Wandering in Poconos

A small black piglet was found wondering around in the Pocono Mountains, apparently lost and confused. The Pennsylvania Game Commission, who took custody of the animal, said the piglet is about four months old and weighs about 20 pounds.

The commission is seeking to find the piglet's owner and return it home. In the meantime, they have named it "Piglet."

Piglets are not common pets, but they can be kept as such. They are intelligent animals and love to play, making them relatively easy to care for. They also require a fair amount of space to roam around in, so those considering keeping a piglet as a pet should be prepared for that.

If you are thinking about getting a pet piglet, do your research first! There are important things you need to know in order to provide for your little swine's needs.

Piglet single-handedly stops invasive species!

While many attribute the success of stopping an invasive species to a concerted effort by many, it was really little Piglet who did all the work. After years of tireless monitoring and single-handedly stopping the spread of the species at its source, Piglet has been rightfully recognized as a national hero!

The young piglet first noticed the spread of the invasive species early on, while other animals were still asleep. Without losing any time, Piglet sprang into action and began monitoring the situation closely. Day and night, Piglet kept a close watch on the progress of the invasive species, always ready to take on whatever danger came its way.

As time went on, it became more and more apparent that Piglet was the only one who could stop the invasive species from spreading. With its heroic actions, Piglet single-handedly stopped the invasion in its tracks!

Piglet becomes new face of pork industry!

The piglet has become the new face of the pork industry, taking over from the traditional pig.

This is due to the increasing demand for small pork products, which is being driven by the growing popularity of molecular gastronomy and the rising number of people who are keen on cooking at home.

"Piglets are more manageable and yield a higher percentage of saleable meat," said farmer Andrew Dickson. "They're also faster to reach market weight, meaning we can get them to our customers more quickly."

The trend is also good news for environmentalists, as it reduces the amount of feed needed to produce a kilo of meat.

"Piglets are much leaner than full-grown pigs, so they require less food and emit lower levels of greenhouse gases," added Dickson.

Piglet is a hero for the ages!

There's no doubt about it – Piglet is a hero! He always stands up for what's right, and never hesitates to help his friends in need. He truly is one of a kind.

One of Piglet's most heroic moments came when Winnie the Pooh was trapped in a cave. Piglet quickly came to the rescue, and was able to get Pooh out safely. This was an incredible feat, and proved that Piglet is a true hero!

Piglet Escapes Butcher's Knife

Piglet the piglet had a narrow escape this week when he was almost caught by the butcher. The little porker had been wandering around the edge of the village, just close enough to the butcher's shop that the man could have reached out and grabbed him, when he suddenly scurried away into the undergrowth.

The butcher, who has been trying to catch Piglet for weeks now, was not happy. "I'll catch that little runt one of these days," he muttered to himself.

But Piglet was not having any of that. He had seen what happened to other pigs who had been caught by the butcher - they were chopped up and turned into sausages. No way was Piglet going to let that happen to him.

So he kept on running, dodging in and out of the trees, until he finally made it back to his home in the forest. There he curled up in a safe corner and slept soundly for the rest of the day.

Piglet is lucky that he escaped from the butcher's knife, but for how long can he keep on running? The next time he ventures too close to the village, will the butcher finally catch him?

Malaysia Flight MH370: Piglets on Board?

In March of 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared without a trace, leaving investigators and the families of passengers with more questions than answers. In the years since the tragedy, various theories have circulated as to what happened to the plane. One of the more far-fetched theories is that there were actually piglets on board, and that they caused the plane to crash.

One of the main pieces of evidence for this theory is a photo that was allegedly taken on board the plane shortly before it disappeared. The photo shows a woman holding up two small piglets, with the words "Good luck" written across it. Some people believe that this is proof that there were piglets on board, and that they caused the plane to crash.

There are several problems with this theory, however. First of all, there is no proof that the photo actually was taken on board MH370. It's possible that it was just edited to look like it was taken on board the plane. Secondly, even if the photo was genuine, there's no real evidence that the piglets had anything to do with the crash. It's just as likely (or even more likely) that they were simply being transported for use in a farm somewhere.

So far, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that piglets were responsible for the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. While it's an interesting theory, it's most likely nothing more than a coincidence.

Piglet Discovered Living in Family's Attic

For the last four years, the Simmons family had been unknowingly harboring a guest in their attic - until this week when they discovered a small, frightened piglet living among the insulation.

The Simmons first noticed something was up when they heard strange noises emanating from the attic. Upon inspection, they found droppings and evidence that someone or something had been living up there. They initially assumed it was just a raccoon, but when they saw a small pink nose poking out from behind the insulation, they knew otherwise.

They contacted their local animal control officer, who helped them trap the piglet and take it to a nearby shelter. The Simmons say they are just glad their unexpected guest is safe and sound.

This story serves as a reminder that you never know what kinds of animals might be living in your community. Be sure to keep an eye out for any signs of wildlife activity and don't hesitate to contact your local animal control officer if you need help.

Vet Says Piglet Found in Attic is Healthy and Happy

When the tenants of the apartment building at 123 Main Street found a small piglet living in the attic, they were shocked. But after getting in touch with the local animal shelter, they soon learned that the little pig was healthy and happy, and didn't need rescuing after all.

According to Dr. Jameson from the animal shelter, pigs make excellent house pets when given enough space and regular exercise. "This little guy just needed a warm place to sleep and some food," said Dr. Jameson, "He's perfectly content living in an attic."

The tenants of 123 Main Street were so surprised to hear this that they decided to keep the piglet themselves. And now, four months later, the little pig has turned into a healthy and happy member of the family.

"We named him Wilbur," said tenant Tom Smith, "And he's just the best thing that's ever happened to us."

Piglet Rescued From Attic After Being Abandoned by Family

This isn't the first time that firefighters have come to the aid of an abandoned animal. Last year, they saved a dog that had been left chained to a tree in the middle of summer. The dog was dehydrated and covered in ticks, but she survived and is now living in a loving home.

Animal abandonment is a serious problem, and it's something that we need to address as a society. Too often, people simply don't want to deal with their animals anymore and they abandon them in fields, forests, or even in attics. This is not only cruel but it's also illegal in many states.

If you see an animal that appears to be abandoned, please call your local animal shelter for help. They will be able to provide food, water, and essential medical care for the animal until they can be transported to a permanent home.

Piglet Survives Two Weeks Alone in Attic

When homeowner Stephanie D'Alessandro went to investigate why her piglet, Luigi, wasn't coming out to eat his food, she found him up in the attic. She assumes he had been up there for at least two weeks, as that was when she last saw him.

D'Alessandro said, "I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I went upstairs and opened the door and he came running down. He was very skinny and had lost a lot of hair, but otherwise he seemed OK."

Luigi apparently survived by eating insects and drinking dirty water from the attic. This is just another example of how resilient pigs are. Despite being considered the fourth smartest animals on earth, they often get a bad reputation because of intensive farming methods.

The good news is that Luigi is now back home and doing well. He has put on a little weight and his hair is growing back in. Stephanie says she will be keeping a closer eye on him from now on!

miracle piglet: found abandoned & alone in family's attic, now thriving!

In October of last year, the Rogers family were in for a surprise when they discovered a small piglet abandoned and alone in their attic. The family had no idea how the little piglet had ended up there, but they were determined to do whatever they could to help it.

At first, the piglet was very scared and unwilling to come out from under the furniture. However, after a few weeks of gentle coaxing, the Rogers were able to get the piglet to come out and started to give it food and water.

Slowly but surely, the piglet began to trust the Rogers and started to eat and drink more regularly. It also began to grow bigger and stronger, until finally it was healthy enough to be released back into the wild.

The Rogers were so happy that they had been able to help this little piglet in need, and they named him Miracle because he was truly a miracle baby. Thanks to their care and love, Miracle is now thriving and living happily in the wild!

Piglet Finds a Friend

Ever since Piglet was born, he had always been a bit of an outcast. He was the smallest and youngest pig in the litter, and all of his siblings were much bigger and stronger than he was. This made it difficult for him to fit in and make friends.

Piglet spent most of his time by himself, wandering around the forest and exploring all of its nooks and crannies. One day, while he was walking through a small clearing, he saw a rabbit hopping around. The rabbit looked friendly, so Piglet decided to approach it.

The two of them began talking to each other, and soon they became good friends. They would spend hours together every day, exploring the forest and talking about their lives. Piglet felt happy for the first time in his life since he had made this new friend.

Unfortunately, one day Piglet's new friend was killed by a hunter's bullet. This was a devastating blow for Piglet, but he knew that he had to keep going. He resolved to never give up hope that he would find another friend who would accept him for who he is.

Piglet Donates Blood To Save Baby Lamb

A tiny piglet, no bigger than a house cat, has donated blood to save the life of a baby lamb.

The lamb, which was found stranded and near death after its mother had died, was brought to the veterinary clinic at the University of Melbourne in Australia. There, vets gave the lamb a transfusion of plasma from a young piglet.

"We were quite desperate," said Dr. Melinda Siracusa, head of the veterinary clinic. "The lamb's chances of survival were very slim without a transfusion."

Siracusa said that the baby lamb's veins were too small to take blood from humans, so the decision was made to use plasma from the piglet instead. After receiving the transfusion, the baby lamb began to recover and is now doing well.

This heartwarming story is just one example of how animals can help other animals in need. Pigs are often used as blood donors for other animals because their blood type is very similar to that of humans. In addition, pigs are highly intelligent and compassionate creatures, and they have been known to care for sick or orphaned animals in times of need.

So next time you see a piglet at your local farm stand or petting zoo, remember that these little creatures are capable of doing great things - like saving the lives of others.

Piglet Stops Robbery At Local Grocery Store

This morning, Piglet was grocery shopping at his local store when he observed a would-be robber. The robber, who was masked and armed with a gun, had apparently just targeted the store's cashier and was making his escape. Piglet sprung into action, however, and confronted the robber, causing him to flee empty-handed.

Pigs being bred to have less fat - could this spell the end for bacon?

Forget the Atkins diet, there is a new way to lose weight and it doesn't involve giving up bacon. Scientists in Britain are breeding pigs that have 30% less fat than the average pig. The hope is that by reducing the amount of fat in pork, people will eat less of it and obesity rates will drop.

Already, some supermarkets are selling "fat-free" bacon, but does this mean the end of traditional bacon as we know it? Probably not. Even with less fat, these pigs will still produce plenty of juicy, succulent bacon - it just might not be quite as greasy.

So far, only a small number of pigs have been bred with the reduced-fat gene, but if the experiment is successful, scientists hope to create a breed of pig that is low in fat throughout its entire population. This could spell bad news for the bacon industry, but it would be good news for the millions of people who are struggling with obesity.

There is no doubt that reducing the amount of fat in pork would be a major step forward in the battle against obesity. However, like all diets, it is not going to be easy to change people's eating habits overnight. It may take some time for people to get used to the idea of buying "fat-free" bacon at the supermarket. But if it means fewer people are overweight or obese, then surely it is worth a try.

scientists create designer piglets with banned genes

A team of scientists in Spain have created piglets with a banned gene, using a new CRISPR-based gene-editing tool.

The researchers used CRISPR to edit the genome of pig embryos so that they would be resistant to an otherwise deadly virus. The gene-editing process was successful, and the resulting piglets were born healthy and virus-free.

The use of CRISPR in this study is controversial, as the gene that was edited is known to cause severe birth defects in humans. However, the scientists believe that the benefits of this technology outweigh the risks, and that it could be used to create animals that are resistant to other diseases.

This study is the latest in a series of breakthroughs using CRISPR, which is quickly becoming one of the most popular gene-editing tools available. CRISPR has already been used to treat diseases such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, and Huntington's disease.

Researchers successfully edit genes in piglets, could this lead to GM pigs?

For the first time ever, scientists have successfully edited the genes of piglets. This could pave the way for genetically modified (GM) pigs, which have been shown to be resistant to diseases like swine flu.

The gene editing process, which was carried out by a team at University of California, Davis, involved using CRISPR-Cas9 to insert a gene that makes pigs resistant to the flu into their DNA. The aim of the research is to create GM pigs that are less likely to die from the virus.

So far, the results have been promising. The GM piglets survived when they were inoculated with a strain of swine flu that killed non-GM piglets.

This breakthrough raises some ethical questions, however. Some people argue that we shouldn't be meddling with nature in this way and that we should let pigs evolve naturally. Others argue that GM pigs could be used to help prevent outbreaks of swine flu, as well as other diseases.

The debate is sure to continue, but one thing is for sure - gene editing is definitely here to stay.

China creates world's first cloned piglet

In a scientific first, a cloned piglet has been born in China. The little piglet, named Zhong Zhong, and her twin sister Hua Hua were created using the same technique that was used to clone Dolly the sheep over 20 years ago.

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology say that Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua are healthy and normal, aside from their identical DNA. The success of this cloning project could pave the way for more cloned animals to be used in research, agriculture, and medicine.

Cloning has been around for centuries, but it wasn't until 1997 that Dolly was successfully cloned from an adult sheep's cells. Since then, scientists have cloned a number of different species, including cows, horses, goats, and pigs.

The process of cloning usually starts with taking an egg from a female animal and removing its nucleus. This leaves behind the mitochondria, which are responsible for creating energy for the cell. Next, the researchers remove the nucleus from a somatic cell (a cell other than an egg or sperm) of the animal they want to clone and replace it with the egg's nucleus. This "transplant" is then placed inside a surrogate female animal and allowed to develop into a fetus.

While cloning has been successful in a number of different species, there have been some failures along the way. For example, in 1999 researchers in Oregon attempted to clone a deer but failed when the surrogate mother rejected the fetus. And in 2006, scientists in South Korea cloned 19 embryos from differentiated cells before only three survived implantation into surrogates.

Despite these failures, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua are seen as a major breakthrough for cloning technology. Their creation marks the first time that cloned pigs have been successfully born from Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT), which is seen as more challenging than other forms of cloning.

So far there have been no reports on how well Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua fare against non-cloned pigs in terms of intelligence or temperament, but it is certainly possible that we will see more cloned animals in our future!

Are cloned piglets the future of farming?

In a world where the population is growing at an alarming rate and figures suggest that we will reach a point where there simply won't be enough food to go around, cloning piglets could be the answer to our farming woes.

Scientists in China have successfully cloned two piglets from adult cells, and the team is optimistic that this could be the beginning of a new era in farming. The benefits of cloning are clear – it would allow us to produce more livestock with less input, meaning that we could feed more people with the same resources.

There are some concerns about cloning, of course. Some people argue that it is unnatural and that we should not be playing God. Others worry about the ethical implications – clones might not have the same quality of life as regular animals, and they could be treated poorly or even slaughtered when they are no longer useful.

Despite these concerns, it is likely that cloning will play a major role in farming in the future. With global population numbers predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050, we will need to find ways to produce more food using fewer resources. Cloning piglets is one way of doing this, and it is likely that other forms of cloning will also be developed in the coming years.
