MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ?

For the first time in its history, the Como Zoo has birthed a baby piggie.

The small porker burst from its dis-reputable mother on Thursday in the Zoo’s Pig Pen.

Historically, Zoos throughout the United States have had trouble producing piggies due to the animal’s unusual breeding practices. Rumors abound concerning leather and shackles.

Como keepers attribute the success to the pig being in a bar earlier in season, the wetter than usual spring, incubator processes, and large amounts of alcohol. The search is still on for the father.

Piggy isn’t talking.
