Chris Hemsworth’s wife of six years, Elsa Pataky, took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal the newest (and fluffiest) member of their happy family – a little pet piggy!

Sharing the adorable snap with her 600,000 followers, she cuddled up to the little animal who could be seen taking a peaceful nap wrapped in a blanket.

“Tina! The new Member of the family!” The 39-year-old actress captioned the Instagram selfie, which has received more than 18,400 likes since it’s upload.

TOO CUTE! A real life pig in a blanket.

The blonde beauty and her handsome hubby are known for their love of animals, sharing pics on Instagram on a regular basis enjoying the company of some furry and not so furry friends…

In amongst the adorable pics of their three children India Rose, three, and one-year-old twins, Tristan and Sasha, the couple’s followers are treated to regular photos with all kinds of exotic animals, from llamas and kangaroos to snakes and spiders.

A true blue Aussie, Chris isn’t one to shy away from creepy crawlies.

We only have one question – why a pig?

Could the new addition of the mini-piglet have anything to do with Chris’ younger brother’s on-again-off-again girlfriend, Miley Cyrus?

In August 2014, the Wrecking Ball singer famously adopted her very own little pig named Bubba Sue into her ever-growing animal family.

Perhaps the 23-year-old helped Chris and Elsa pick out the piggy, similarly to how she helped her first love Liam adopt his dog, Dora – who is aptly named after his niece and nephews favourite show, Dora the Explorer.

This little piggy went home!

In November last year, the Hunger Games star and his ex at the time picked out a pup together before making a generous donation to the Wylder’s Holistic Pet Center & Rescue in LA.

Wylder’s shared a snap of Liam and Dora on their Instagram page writing, “Thanks @mileycyrus for loving dogs as much as we do!!”

“You helped find this gigantic, 6 month old puppy a new home. @liamhemsworth you will give this deserving baby a great life!”
