We speak about modern, living, totally bio-friendly vacuum-cleaner. It works just like a microprocessor – it`s quiet, low maintenance, don`t need much space and its latest model spends energy. Actually it doesn`t consume any electricity, all it needs is some sunlight.

The micro pig lives for up to 18 years long, you don’t need to clean a lot after the tiny animal, which doesn’t have a lot of hair. Also it`s great for people with allergies, because the pigs skin is very near to the human ones. They don`t need long walks, all they need is love.


“I like pigs.

Dogs look up to us.

Cats look down on us.

Pigs treat us as equals.”

Australia's national health regulator is considering overturning the ban on transplanting animal cells and organs into humans.

"Pigs like humans eat just about anything and their blood sugar levels run about the same as humans, so from that point of view they're pretty ideal."
