With a mohawk-style plume of hair and pink flesh covered in leopard-esque spots, the mysterious animal terrified locals in Xinxiang, Henan province
Xinxiang is close to several scientific research centres and a local medical school - and locals became convinced the creature was an experiment gone wrong, on the run from a nearby lab.
One witness said: ‘The pink skin makes it look just like pig gone wrong in some sort of genetic experiment.’

But police say the dog is actually a pedigree breed called a Chinese crested hairless dog is a pet - and expensive.
‘It is definitely a dog, and quite an expensive one at that,’ said a spokesman.
The bizarre breed with just tufts of hair on its head and tail and a bare, spotted body regularly features as a contender in the World's Ugliest Dog contest.
One celebrated example, Yoda (pictured below), won the 2011 World's Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma Marin Fair for her short tufts of hair, protruding tongue, and long, seemingly hairless legs.
The 1.8lb pooch had lived a rough life before Terry Schumacher found her abandoned behind an apartment building and mistook her for a rat.
The dog went on to bag $1,000 and a trophy 15 times her size when she won the contest held in Petaluma, California last June.

Best paw forward: Yoda was a first-time competitor and beat fierce competition for the title

This is not nice and not as nature intended and these experiments must be put to a stop before it goes to far
yes I find this similar to genetically modified plants.. Humans should stick to breeding their own kind(the natural way lol), and leave the plants & animals alone.
Gotta agree with you Hollie, science must develop and progress but not at the expense of animals/people or perfectly fine plants for someones sick personal pleasure *award shows*
yes the greed must definitely stop, once money is gone everything else will fall into place. <3
Go hug a tree.
People like you is what holds a race back.
Science is beauty. It is people like you that halt our race.
There are plenty of ways to evolve. Stop waiting for superman and hugging trees.
If you are advocating science as GOD or as the way to evolve, you do know that you are advocating death.
There may be plenty ways to evolve, but only one right way that nature has already invented.
Seems your only agurment against us is that we hug trees, you keep saying it...
You should try it ;)
My argument would be the power of enslavement you're currently under because of your dumbass treehugging ways.
When the pledieans trusted hitler because of their tree hugging ways, look what happened. LMAO.
OH HEY DER, LETS GIVE HITLER TECH AND IN RETURN HE WILL STOP.
Well aren't you the bright beaming light we've all been waiting for? lol. I hope you don't consider yourself a lightworker..
Oh hey look at me, I'm a lightworker.
I create polls and petition. Wooooo, let's all pray for superman to come rescue us as we are not capable of helping ourselves.
You guys are awesome. This is why we are in this position on the first place.
Morons like you.
Not that hard to enslave you people at all.
That term lightworker makes me laugh.
