Daniel and Holly were recently invited out to visit a farm in Benxi, which is in the countryside not far from Shenyang, China where they live. The farmer had black pigs. I've never heard of black pigs before, so I thought maybe you haven't, either. Fortunately, Daniel has provided photographic evidence of their existence.

The mighty Chinese black pig |
Yummy luncheon spread at the farm |
I'm with Holly on this one!
Daniel said the black dish on the end is caterpillar cocoons. Yum. |
I could not see the ducks in this picture without thinking of the book about "Ping the Little Duck on the Yangtze River". I'm sure Benxi is nowhere near the Yangtze, but I still thought of them. My knowledge of China is sadly lacking. That's why I'm glad Daniel is helping to educate me.
Fred loved the ducks |
It's as the French say, "unique au monde!"
