Bearded Pig
The Bearded Pig (Sus barbatus) can be distinguished by it’s very prominent and unruly ‘beard’. They are also known as the Bornean Bearded Pig. In addition to the beard, some of these pigs also have tassels on their tails.
Southeast Asia is the main area where the Bearded Pig can be found. This area includes the mangrove forests and rainforests of Borneo, Sumatra and parts of the Philippines.
The Bearded Pig stays in groups consisting of family members, although they can be cross-bred with other species of the Suidae family. They reach sexual maturity when they are 18 months old.
