Superstitious Thai villagers have been pictured worshipping a mutant baby pig – born with two heads, three ears and eight legs.
The piglet was the 13th in a litter born on a farm in rural Udon Thani province, north eastern Thailand on April 27.
Locals believe the still born creature was sent to them to bring good luck – and hope it will lead to success on the lottery.
Residents were seen sitting cross-legged while praying to the dead pig and choosing their lottery numbers based on its features.
Owner Kanchana Supanich, 46, said the most popular number had been 13 – as the piglet was the 13th to be born to its mother, nicknamed Fat.
The number 38 had also been popular – because the pig has three ears and eight legs – while 28 was also seen as auspicious due to the animal’s two heads and eight legs.
Kanchana added: ‘The pig is lucky, I have never seen any animal born like this. It has eight legs, three ears and two heads.
‘It is a male pig, but was not breathing when he was born. People are using the numbers to gamble. I’m sure he will bring the village good fortune.’
