Speaking of this pig's head, there is a lot to come. I believe many people know that dogs can swim, but how many have heard that pigs can swim? However, the pig in the British Museum was a swimmer while alive. It is precisely because of his difference that his "prestige" eventually led to his "prestige" and even to this day, his head is still hung as a specimen on the wall of the British War Museum. So, what's going on here? Let's talk about it.
It goes back to the 1910s, when because technology was relatively undeveloped, soldiers usually couldn't eat fresh food when they went to sea, and they couldn't eat fish every day. So what to do? Fresh food will spoil after two days, and there is no way to preserve it. But the solution was figured out by people, and then some people said that pigs are alive, and it just so happens that soldiers like to eat pork, and whenever they want to eat it, they can kill it directly. Therefore, at that time, many German warships would have a few pigs on board.
One day when the German warship was going to sea, it encountered the warship of the "British Empire", and the war between the two warships was about to erupt, and finally the British warship sank the enemy army, and was about to turn around and sail away, when it saw a pig swimming towards the warship. Later, in order to mock Germany, the British crowned the pig with a title and named the pig after the German admiral. It is precisely because of this that this pig is saved from the scourge of killing.
After that, the pig began a good life on a British warship. Every day, the soldiers would give it good food and take pictures with the "admiral". Over time, pigs grow bigger and fatter. After that, it began to hinder the normal operation of the soldiers on the warship, and had no choice but to invite "Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz" to disembark and send him to the school. Of course, sending him to school is not to kill him, but to educate students about the military.
After arriving at the school, it was famous again in a short period of time, and the students would give the pigs the first time to eat delicious food every day. In this way, the pigs grew larger and larger, and the school could not afford the pig's food, and decided to return "Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz" to the British army.
As for the follow-up story, there are two versions, but the premise is that "Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz" was auctioned off and the proceeds did something more meaningful. As for the ending, some people say that they were eaten, but the head of the British would not eat, so it was made into a specimen. There is also a theory that the pig died of death, and people made a specimen of its head and hung it in the British Museum in commemoration.
