This is a very strange breed of pig which was developed in the USA from original stock from the Deep South. It is now a rare breed. It does not have a cloven hoof; hence its name, as its foot looks like that of a mule. The lack of a cloven hoof is in fact an inherited defect. The ethics of breeding these pigs must be questionable. It is normally all black but some have white spots.
