philippine swine

in the 1899 zoo guide-book it´s called Sus philippensis but because no island of orgine is mentioned I´m not aware which form this should be. Can anyone help ?

Philippines Warty Pig

visayan warty pig

fairly common in US zoos, all owned by the government of the philipines, and quite endangered, we call them Visayan Warty pigs.

No I agree with bongorob, this appears to be Sus philippensis rather than Sus cebifrons.

I´ve seen quite a number of Visayan Warty pigs at Antwerp and Rotterdam Zoo and they didn´t match with the animal on the picture so I´m quite sure it´s not Sus cebifrons negrinus.
I´ve however never seen none of the Philippensis-subspecies ( S.p. philippensis, S.p mindanensis and S.p. oliveri ) so I was wondering if somebody could identify the animal on the picture to subspecies-level.

I'n guessing that photo is S.p.philippensis

According to zootierliste there were Javan warty pigs in Berlin zoo from 1892. But this one really looks like a young male of Sus philippinensis: http://www.zooinstitutes.com/photosessionpic.asp?name=2532

Wow, that does look exactly like a Philippine warty pig, but I am not convinced that that is the swine species that this individual is, the reason I say that is because I checked Zootierliste and saw no reference to current holdings or former holdings of Philippine warty pigs but it did say that Berlin Zoo had Visayan warty pigs in the past, still this individual looks like a Philippine warty pig

Just a reminder, Zootierliste is not fully accurate as it's being fully dependent of zoo fans.

Unfortunately, ISIS records are not fully accurate as well and also dependent of people doing it.
