“Sheep Pigs” Are Real And They’re Like Giant Fuzzy Dogs


We all know that sheep are quite fuzzy animals, which is part of their charm as farm animals. But when we think of pigs, we definitely don’t envision hairy animals. Quite the opposite, we think of pigs as being relatively sparse with their fur and constantly dunking themselves in mud in order to stay cool.

They have the outward appearance of a sheep with the wooly coat, but they’re actually bred to be pets since they’re quite tamable.
