Meet the new pigs, they’re a lot like the old pigs

A Wild Pig family in Hawaii

Mom watches over her seven piglets as they forage in the yard in front of the house. Mangoes are the big lure for them, but they’re currently in short supply. Last time I looked, I only saw one lonely mango up there. By the time the next crop comes around, mom will likely be shepherding a new batch of piglets.
