Red River Hoglets Born at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park.

The two piglets were born on the 17th September 2011 to male Chiwanda and female Maarta -- this is their first successful litter and the brother and sister have yet to be named.

Red River hogs are found across the West and Central African rainforest belt. This distinctive looking pig is Africa's equivalent of the Eurasian wild boar. Although it is currently relatively common in its range this distinctive species is sadly in decline due to hunting for meat and persecution by farmers who view the hogs as a pest species due to their habit of raiding crops.
