Tenerife's Trilingual Pigs

cerdoslosrealejos3

This pretty much qualifies for the "oddly enough" category, so it was impossible to resist. In this image, taken from the car park of the petrol station close the Playa del Soccorro in Los Realejos, we see a family of little piggies, who gather daily to frolic in a pool alongside (not visible in the photo.)

They must be very clever little piggies too, because they appear to be able to read no less than three languages; Spanish, English and German!

But they aren't that clever because they can only speak pig latin
