BIZARRE images of the insides of a wild pig – which has FLUORESCENT blue fat – have emerged online leaving people scratching their heads.

Blue pigmentation is often caused by copper poisoning – but the land where the animal was shot only has mercury mine shafts.

The post's author – GlendilTEK – on imgur website wrote how none of the pigs shot by his in-laws on the Californian ranch had blue fat.

I’m guessing that will affect the flavor and the cooking aroma.

The blue fat phenomena is real and though still rare here is widespread in Uganda, who public health authorities are warning people not to eat those pigs.

I've never seen a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But one thing I'll tell you now
I'd rather see than be one!
