Isn’t it nice to have green pigs, especially if they glow in the dark?

Some Chinese scientists led by Liu Zhonghua at the Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin had the same thing in mind, but they didn’t just sit down and laugh about it; they actually bred green flourescent pigs, three of them.

Reports Xinghua: Genetic material from jellyfish was injected into the womb of a sow which gave birth to the three pigs 114 days later in Harbin.

And Mr Zhonghua is one proud “father”: “the mouth, trotters and tongue of the pigs are green under ultraviolet light,” he beams, and it’s not hard to imagine that maybe as he says this, a tear of absolute joy peeps out of his left eye.
