A rare mutant pig with six legs has been captured walking like a spider through the grass.
The freak piglet, which was born on a Uruguayan Farm, has caused a stir among locals who say they've never seen anything like it.
In the video, the black-and-white piglet can be seen walking in the grass with its two extra legs in the air.
Apart from its abnormal extra limbs, the baby pig is believed to be otherwise healthy.
It was born in a farm in El Arbolito, a rural area located 20 kilometres from the city of Rocha, in the southern Uruguayan department of the same name.
The piglet was born last Thursday along with eight other piglets, local media report.
