Visayan warty piglets November 25, 2015
We managed to breed these critically endangered Visayan warty pigs (Sus cebifrons) sooner than expected. This species of the pig genus, endemic to the Philippines, more precisely to Negros, Panay and Mastabe island, have been on show in our zoo since early autumn. The express aim of our institution in dealing with these animals was to save this endangered species by breeding them at the zoo, however, our conservative estimates predicted the arrival of piglets no sooner than next year. However, the two breeding animals had other plans in mind and so the sow brought her piglets into the world on 16 November.
