Teacup Pigs as Pets
The result of a nine year breeding process at Pennywell Farm in Devon, England, a family of Teacup Pigs was unveiled in 2007, reaping press coverage on both sides of the Atlantic. The pigs were reportedly developed from a New Zealand breed called the Kune Kune Pig, which can weigh over 200 lbs. Breeder Chris Murray sells Teacup pigs in pairs as pets, "so that they always have company and a companion to snuggle down with on cold winter nights." Teacup pigs are also known as mini pigs, micro pigs, and miniature pigs.ABC News: Mini Pigs
