Wild Pigs Sign - 17 Species

May 11th, 2014.
It may - at some point - increase further ... :)

With the HBMW 2 updates on Ungulate Taxonomy, it already has, revised taxonomy claims that there are 33 extant species in the family Suidae, as mentioned above, this map shows 17

I wish more zoos and aquariums would have sianage listing species and subspecies that arent in their collection, just so people can get more of an awareness of bioversity, although zoos seem to be going the route of geographic organization, taxonomy is still something that needs to be taught, I miss the sign at Los Angeles Zoo that listed every Markhor (Capra falconeri) subspecies with pictures so guests can compare them, I went to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium on Wednesday and saw a sign with pictures and comparisons of different Killer whale (Orcinus orca) subspecies
