Bornean Bearded Pig (7/3/24)

Oh wow, when I was there two years ago, it was a wild boar with the signage for this. Interesting.

Edit: Didn't upload the image back then because it didn't seem important, but seeing this made me think I just didn't realize it was a bearded pig, but nope double checked
 
The last Bornean Bearded Pig in the western hemisphere, and its at Capital of Texas Zoo... Does anyone know where they sourced this animal from and if is just the one?
 
@DelacoursLangur Couldn't tell you where it come from, but I was told by the zoo that he was raised as a bottle baby, he is now very elderly (and was clearly arthritic when he moved), and he's the only one they have. The zoo also believes him to be the only one left in the western hemisphere.
