Man, I wish San Diego Zoo still had Bornean bearded pigs, they are such an interesting suidae species, too bad they are a phase out species in AZA zoos, anybody know why ?
Thats what it seems like is happening because Southwicks Zoo has them, Arbuckle Wilderness has them and even Ken's Exotics sells them to private collections and there exotic animal hobbysits, and also didnt you say that they are harder to take care of then Red river hogs ?

Yes I'm afraid, unfortunately AZA is phasing Bornean bearded pigs out, I am not really sure I agree with this decision, they are a vulnerable species and their population is declining, the two main Suidae species that AZA zoos are keeping and breeding are Red river hogs and Visayan warty pigs
