A farmer in Ningxiang County, central China's Hunan Province, has come up with a novel way to keep his pigs fit, healthy and happy.

Huang Demin has trained them to jump off a diving board. He says it builds up their immune system, making them eat more and grow faster.

He also says he gets a better price for the pork from these trained pigs - nearly three times higher than the price he gets for normal ones - because the meat tastes better.

Plus Huang's farm is now also on the tourist map, with hundreds of visitors coming to see the flying pigs!
