At first glance
with its woolly coat
onlookers would be fiven for mistaking this creature for a ver
a closer look at this rare breed reveals a snout and trotters usually found on pigs. It’s a confusing sight
but this is one of three curly coated Mangalitza ‘sheep-pigs’ which have been delivered to a UK zoo.
As part of a programme to help save the animals from extinction
staff at Tropical Wings in Essex are hoping they can help the breed survive.
Originating from Austria and Hungary
the Mangalitza is similar to the native Lincolnshire curly coat breed which died out in Britain 40 years ago.

‘At first sight
people think they are sheep
’ Denise Cox

said
‘It is not until they turn around and you see their faces and snouts you realise they are in fact pigs. '
The woolly coat makes them very hardy and helps them to survive in the harsh winters in their native Austria and Hungary. In the summer it helps protect them from sunburn.’
The sheep-pig used to be a mon sight in Lincolnshire and was shorn once a year to make sweaters
but it became extinct in Britain in 1972.
