A peculiar animal that has recently appeared in Britain, which looks like a sheep, is actually a pig, so it is figuratively called "sheep pig". This is the reappearance of the sheep pig after 37 years of disappearance in the UNITED Kingdom, and its owner, Mr. York, feels that its reproduction is as important as the comeback of The British Conservative MP Boris Johnson because it can revive the unique Lincolnshire curly fur pig in The United Kingdom, so he named it Boris Johnson ( Boris Johnsonson ) .
As early as the beginning of the 20th century, the Austro-Hungarian Empire at that time lived an animal called the "Lincolnshire Curly Pig" (once known as the "Sheep Pig"), which was both a sheep but more like a pig in appearance. At that time, the price was $1,000 a head, which was 5 times the price of ordinary pigs. The "Lincolnshire Curly Pig" became a national treasure of Hungary and won a gold medal at the Budapest Exhibition in 1925.
One day in 1971, the last two Lincolnshire curly pigs were pulled to slaughter, leading to extinction in Britain. But in the early 20th century, many British farmers exported curly pigs to Hungary, and the pigs' fur helped them survive the cold Hungarian winters. In Hungary, curly pigs were crossed with similar breeds of Mangritsa pigs, resulting in the "Lingulista" pig.
In 1976, Hungary formulated and implemented the National Plan for the Protection of Gene Banks, which saved the wool pig breed from extinction and used economic development to revitalize it, and after years of efforts, the population was restored.
Wool pigs, like sheep, are sheared once a year, and the hair cut off can also be made into a wool sweater. In addition, this pig hair is particularly popular in the United States, because its pig hair still retains bubbles underwater, which is the best material for anglers to float.
Such a cute pig, do you want to raise one?
