Description These are actually Red River Hogs (Potamochoerus porcus), also known as the bush pig.

Red river hogs eat grasses, berries, roots, insects, molluscs, small vertebrates and carrion, and are capable of causing damage to plantations. They typically live in herds of six to 20 members led by a dominant boar, with sows rearing three to six piglets at a time.

Taken at Edinburgh Zoo
