Hog Kiss #24


Red River Hogs at the National Zoological Gardens this morning. These two younger ones (hoglets?) were enjoying each other's company while the rest of the herd were tucking into brunch.
Red River Hogs come from central and western Africa.

Finally some wintery weather...A front swept into Pretoria overnight bringing freezing cold and cloudy weather.
This morning at the zoo the animals were all more active than usual, trying to keep warm. One of the giraffes was even shivering, and looked very unhappy. No warm South African sunshine today!
