"Sheep-pig" picture mystery solved

Pictures circulating the web of a strange pig-like animal covered in sheep-like wool are actually of a mangalitsa.
Some called the creature a new species, a genetically engineered hybrid or a cryptozoological mystery but the mangalitsa is actually a well known species of pig that is simply a bit rarer than the type of pigs we are used to seeing.
A series of photographs depicting a strange-looking sheep-pig creature have been circulating around the Web recently. The animals look much like a sheep—and are covered with the typical wool-like coat—but a closer inspection of the head and face reveals a decidedly porcine countenance.

Anyone care to explain to me why this is so important? Oh, that's easy. "OMG! An animal I've never seen before! That MUST mean that bigfoot exists!!!!" People get exited when they see things they've never seen before, especially on these boards.
