Dont call him "ManBearPig" ! He is "Sheep Pig"

Once thought extinct from mans use of pig meat, the Lincolnshire Curly Coat pig may be able to make a come back with the help of one inspired farmer.

The four-legged Boris represents what Mr York hopes will be a renaissance for the Lincolnshire Curly Coat pig, often called the sheep-pig, and a breed which became extinct here 37 years ago.

In his quest to reintroduce the breed, he discovered British farmers had exported many Curly Coats during the early 20th century to Hungary, where their coat helped them survive harsh winters. There they were cross-bred with the Mangalitza, a similar breed, creating the 'Lincolista'.

On a side note - fittingly he is named "Boris" after a local politician. . .
