chanchoveja

Esta clase de porcino con pelaje muy parecido al de una oveja se llama Mangalica , pero coloquialmente es nombrado como 'Chanchoveja '.

Estos cerdos son originarios de Austria y Hungria, donde el intenso frio ocasiono que desarrollasen un espeso pelo para protegerse del clima.

Esta peculiar clase de porcino esta en peligro de extinci on ya que no se crian, debido a que estos animales poseen una grasa corporal que llega al 70%, es decir, si te comes un poco de tocino de Mangalica puedes hasta sufrir un paro cardiaco por la gran concentracion de grasa.

Pero en 1994 se creo una fundacion para preservar a los cerdos Mangalicas y, gracias a ello, el numero de ejemplares va en aumento.
