Pygmy Hog is a critically endangered suid(animal) & found only in Assam at present & is the sole representative of Porcula & its extinction would result in the loss of a unique evolutionary branch of pigs. Pygmy hogs were exhibited in the zoos of London and Berlin in the 19th century but none of the captive populations survived. Zürich Zoo exhibited pygmy hogs from 1976 to 1978, but all females died. The Assam State Zoo is the only Zoo in the world to house the pygmy hog at present. They are about 55 to 71 cm long & stand at 20–30 cm (7.9-11.8 in) & a tail of 2.5 cm (1 in) & weight 6.6-11.8 kg (14.5-26 lbs). নল-গাহৰি - এবিধ গাহৰিৰ নিচিনা মুখৰ পাঁচ নখীয়া সৰু বনৰীয়া জন্তু৷
