Conservation efforts are paying off for these 10-inch-tall hogs, a species so small its piglets can fit in your pocket
The pygmy hog conservationists implemented strict biosecurity measures for the staff, vehicles, and equipment entering the breeding area, he says.
The pigs tear down the grass to build thatched roofs for their nests, which are created over depressions in the ground. A pygmy hog family usually consists of three to five individuals, a combination of females and young; boars usually only join for a few months during the mating season. When captive-bred piglets reach about six months old, they’re moved to an outdoor pre-release center in Potasali, near Nameri National Park. For another six months or so, the youngsters explore and adapt to the recreated grassland habitat. After their release, the pigs are monitored via camera traps, radio transmitters, and on-the-ground surveys.Breeding pigs is only part of the solution: They also need healthy grasslands .
