Proof that pigs can’t fly but for those who try their meat is much tastier. [video]

Huang Demin of Ningxiang county in Hunan province makes his pigs dive, every day, from a 3 meter high wooden diving platform into a pond.

China Daily writes that Huang believes the diving improves the pigs’ immunity against disease, enabling them to eat more and grow faster. The quality of the pork, he claims, is greatly improved as a result and he is able to charge three times as much for his pork than other pig farmers.

Farmer Huang Demin says his diving pigs also bring visitors flocking to his farm in Guanshan village, Ningxiang county, in the country’s Huang Province.

He does have to give some of them a firm nudge to make them go over the edge… why am I not surprised?

Some say he holds the world record for potatoes peeled in a minute. It is believed he set this record as a 6 year old while living at the ANC camp in Tanzania during the 1970's
