00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:09This week, a video of a pig in Negros Oriental went viral.
00:13It's not a chicken, it's a face of a person.
00:16Almost unrecognizable is the face of Tanhai City's Negros Oriental, AJ, the day his pet pig was born.
00:26One of the pig's teeth looks like this.
00:30It looks like a human.
00:32It's different from all the pig's teeth.
00:34It has a nose, eyes, and eyelashes.
00:37Its ears look like a baby's.
00:39And not only does it look different, it also sounds like a pig.
00:47Maybe it's hungry. It's crying.
00:49It's standing on its mouth.
00:51It's asking, did you drink milk?
00:53It's sitting on its mouth.
00:55AJ immediately separated the pig's mouth.
00:57But why does it look like a human's mouth?
01:01His fellow countrymen have their own theories.
01:04Maybe it's sick.
01:05Maybe a person got infected.
01:07Is it really a pig?
01:14According to a veterinarian, the pig has a birth defect called Holoprosencephaly.
01:19This is a congenital malformation which is technically a birth defect.
01:22It has a problem in the development of the brain.
01:27Instead of developing into two hemispheres, it has a fusion.
01:32Therefore, it leads to a malformed or missing renofacial structure.
01:36This is the reason why it looks like a human.
01:39The so-called birth defect can also be a genetic mutation.
01:42Or it's possible that the mother got it when exposed to chemicals, drugs, pesticides, and other things.
01:47This is possible.
01:48Especially, during the time of development of that animal, our mother got exposed to those things.
01:52She's the one who got the birth defect.
01:54Almost always, this particular case is fatal.
01:58In fact, AJ's pig has only been 4 hours since it was born.
02:02It's already dead.
02:04Maybe it's hungry.
02:06The expert guessed that AJ's pig is pregnant.
02:11Even though it's possible for two different species to breed,
02:14due to genetic differences,
02:16it's impossible for two different species to interbreed.
02:19But do you know what it's called when two different species of animals breed?
02:29When two different species of animals breed,
02:32it's called by their offspring, hybrids.
02:35One of the most famous hybrids in the world is Hercules, a liger,
02:39the son of a male lion and a female tiger.
02:42Ligers are considered to be the biggest cat hybrids.
02:45It's 3.33 meters long and 1.25 meters high.
02:50Hercules set the Guinness World Record for the largest living cat in the world.
