If I had tried to get this same image by trying to pose the animals, it never would have happened. The best pictures of livestock and pets come from the moment. Animals have emotions, but they do not provide them on a command. Looking at Rita's face, the strength and love of this animal shows.

I wonder how many people that see that picture wonders what the heck kind of animal is that...LOL

If it weren’t for those lethal looking horns, he’d be cuddly! :)

A rasta dog?

That is a lovely dog/goat/new species animal. If they didn’t take so much grooming I’d get one......:O)

Who knows what happens after sunset in the barnyard. :)

I have never seen a pig like that before. Do you know its breed?.....

It's a pig-sheep hybrid...we had a thread about them ages ago.

I wonder if its done by cloning...I don’t think they can mate on their own, but what do I know anyway....many times a day I just say HUH....WHAT and speak louder...

Mangalitsa apparently. Blame the Hungarians. ;)
