Striped fur and pointed ears: Three small brush-ear pigs are currently exploring their enclosure in the Opel Zoo. The offspring was born at the end of August and was now having a discovery tour every day, the zoo said in Kronberg. They are accompanied by their two parents: Keiler and Sau take care of the young animals in the African brush ear pigs. The type of pig has a particularly striking look: the adult animals have long hair brush on the ears and striking white stripes on the back, on the ears and around the eyes. It will take a few months before the piglets look like their two reddish-brown parents. Until then, your striped fur not only makes you look cute – it also ensures that you are well camouflaged in the grass and bushland. More on the theme -ear ear pigs are not considered to be threatened, but are widespread, according to the zoo in Africa. However, their stock sinks, even though they are often reproduced. Because the animals are hunted – and not just for their meat: they often destroy the harvests of people when they search for food through the fields.
