New photo Now THAT’S a pig in a blanket! Porker shows off its distinctive hairy pelt

You might think the owner of this furry creature had been sold a pig in a poke.

But no, he wasn’t fleeced – it really is a woolly porker. A Hungarian mangalitza pig, to be precise. 

Jim Mann, who breeds the pigs at Erchless Castle Estate near Beauly, Inverness-shire, said their fleeces made them well suited to Scottish winters. 

Mr Mann, who uses them as an eco-friendly way to clear bracken at his birch syrup firm, added: ‘People are surprised when they first see them, as they do look like sheep from afar.’

Hungarian mangalitza pigs have a curly fur coat and were developed in the mid-19th century by crossbreeding Hungarian breeds from Szalonta and Bakony with the European wild boar and the Serbian Šumadija breed

The Mangalica produces too little lean meat, so it has been gradually replaced by modern domestic breeds

It is usually fed with a mix of wild pasture, supplemented with potatoes and pumpkins produced on the farm

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
