This is interesting it’s a Mangalitza or as I prefer to call to it a sheep pig. It is one of three animals that have recently been delivered to a UK zoo as part of a breeding programme. The breed which originates from Austria and Hungary is at threat of extinction but it hoped the breeding programme at Tropical Wings in Essex might help preserve it. The pig is a particularly hardy breed as it is able to withstand very cold winters due to its fur coat and also is not susceptible to sunburn in the summer.
