Love the "and their piglets" part. Many creatures young look radically different than the adult version.
Wow, no way!
It's captain obvious!
The fact that the piglets all look so similar is a clear indicator that those stripes are simply VERY good camouflage in low brushes.
Sad to see how pigs also suffer from the "bee fallacy". There's one species that's doing really well but a dozen that are endangered and people are unaware because they barely know the difference.
I had no idea there was such diversity of wild pigs in africa, you are one of the only channels I follow to consistantly present new and interesting animals I have never heard of. Keep it up
I thought the warthog was the only wild African pig. Turns out there are two species of warthog.
There are other pig species native to Africa such as the Barbary Pig (Sus algirus), the Bushpig (Potamochoerus larvatus), the Red River Pig (Potamochoerus porcus), and the Giant Forest Hog (Hylochoerus meinertzhageni).
I believe pigs evolved in Africa, like most animals seemingly.
@razatiger22, actually, only Afrotheria evolved in Africa, pigs are not part of Afrotheria, pigs more likely evolved in North America, this is because all odd-toed and even-toed hoofed mammals evolved in North America, hence the reason why the superorder Laurasiatheria originated exclusively from North America before existing elsewhere.
@@razatiger22 Yes, Africa is the cradle of humanity
When he was a young warthog, he found his aroma had a certain appeal,he could clear the savannah after every meal. He's a sensitive soul while he seems thick skinned,and it hurts when his friends never stood, downwind it was a shame, oh the same he thought of changing his name every time that he farte....
Punba! The kid!
@@rogerelliss9829 pumba* i think
@JohnSmith-jp6pk yeah somehow autocorrect went with punba. Not sure it's actually a word, but my autocorrect still thinks it is. Lol
Puma!!!!
So many delightful sneefs and snorfs. Thank you.
Sniffy snorb sneeps
If pygmy hogs could be domesticated I think they would be widespread because people would want them as pets
true
They are heavily protected. If legal, people would rush in and trap them for breeding, causing extinction to the wild form
And apart from pets they dont seem too productive as means of food supply or anything else, hence they never got domesticated in the first place
Fun fact:The pygmy hog,rarest wild pig,is so rare,whith only 250 left,it is only found in 1 zoo :Asam Zoo in India.
I didn't know that so many wild pigs exist. very good informations about all species. Greets Stefan
There are 2 types of people in this world - those who think that wild piglets are the cutest things in the world and those that are wrong.
And those who are hungry
@@VshapeDino You can still be hungry and think that they're cute.
most babies are cute. Unfortunately they all grow up!
@@maniswolftoman Well, they have to eat, my friend. Nothing wrong there.
Dogs are tasty too@@williamsharp2532
Fun fact: pigs and peccaries are still only distantly related, peccaries are the only extant family of the superfamily Tayassuoidea whereas pigs are the only extant family of the superfamily Suoidea, both superfamilies constitute the infraorder Suina that is included within the suborder Bunodontia which does group them with the hippos (family Hippopotamidae) that are the only extant family of both the superfamily Hippopotamoidea and the infraorder Ancodonta, the Bunodontia suborder also includes the extinct andrewsarchids and entelodonts, a majority of bunodonts are omnivorous, which explains why pigs, peccaries, and hippos are all descended from hoofed predators, the earliest bunodonts did resemble carnivorans but actually had hooves on their feet rather than claws, all members of the Bunodontia suborder have upper incisors rather than dental pads, which are seen only in the more exclusively herbivorous suborder Selenodontia.
Thank you for detailing this, it is much appreciated!
The part about Hippos is wrong. Hippos are more closely related to Cetaceans than they are to any other living animals.
@lukejones7164, nope, whales are their own order, while even-toed hoofed mammals and odd-toed hoofed mammals are more closely related to each other, whales (order Cetacea) are the only extant order of both the grandorder Cetaceomorpha and the mirorder Pancetacea, while both odd-toed hoofed mammals (order Perissodactyla) and even-toed hoofed mammals (order Artiodactyla) belong to the grandorder Ungulata (Hoofed Mammals), in fact, even-toed hoofed mammals (order Artiodactyla) are split into only two valid suborders based on dietary grounds and the structure of their upper jaws: Selenodontia and Bunodontia, with the suborder Selenodontia being further split into the infraorders Tragulina, Vampyrodonta, Pecora, and Tylopoda and the suborder Bunodontia being further split into the infraorders Suina and Ancodonta, within the Selenodontia suborder the chevrotains (family Tragulidae) are the only extant family of both the superfamily Traguloidea and the infraorder Tragulina, the yoyongs (genus Hydropotes) and kasturis (genus Moschus) are the only extant genera of the families Hydropotidae and Moschidae respectively, both monotypic families constitute the superfamily Moschoidea, which is the only extant taxon of the infraorder Vampyrodonta, the Pecora infraorder is split into the superfamilies Giraffoidea, Cervoidea, and Bovoidea, the Giraffoidea superfamily contains the extant families Giraffidae (Giraffes and Okapi) and Antilocapridae (Pronghorn and Fossil Relatives), the deer (family Cervidae) are the only extant family of the superfamily Cervoidea, and the bovids (family Bovidae) are the only extant family of the superfamily Bovoidea, the camels (family Camelidae) are the only extant family of both the superfamily Cameloidea and the infraorder Tylopoda, whereas within the suborder Bunodontia, the Suina infraorder is split into the superfamilies Tayassuoidea and Suoidea, the peccaries (family Tayassuidae) are the only extant family of the superfamily Tayassuoidea and the pigs (family Suidae) are the only extant family of the superfamily Suoidea and hippos (family Hippopotamidae) are the only extant family of both the superfamily Hippopotamoidea and the infraorder Ancodonta, similar to there being only two valid suborders of even-toed hoofed mammals (order Artiodactyla), there are only three valid suborders of rodents (order Rodentia) being Caviomorpha (Cavy-Like Rodents), Sciuromorpha (Squirrel-Like Rodents), and Myomorpha (Mouse-Like Rodents) with the cavy-like rodents (suborder Caviomorpha) being the most basal and are split into ten superfamilies, which are Ctenodacyloidea for the families Diatomyidae (Asiatic Rockrats) and Ctenodactylidae (Gundis), Petromuroidea for only the family Petromuridae (Dassie Rat and Fossil Relatives), Phiomyoidea for only the family Thryonomyidae (Cane Rats and Fossil Relatives), Bathyergoidea for only the family Bathyergidae (Molerats), Hystricoidea for only the family Hystricidae (Old World Porcupines), Octodontoidea for the families Octodontidae (Degus and South American Rockrats) and Echimyidae (Spiny Rats), Chinchilloidea for the families Abrocomidae (Chinchilla Rats and Viscacha Rats) and Chinchillidae (Chinchillas and Viscachas), Erethizontoidea for only the family Erethizontidae (New World Porcupines), Myocastoroidea for the families Ctenomyidae (Tuco-Tucos), Capromyidae (Hutias), and Myocastoridae (Nutria, Punares, and Guiaras), and Cavioidea for the families Dinomyidae (Pacarana and Fossil Relatives), Caviidae (Cavies), Cuniculidae (Pacas and Fossil Relatives), and Dasyproctidae (Agoutis and Acouchis), the squirrel-like rodents (suborder Sciuromorpha) are split into seven superfamilies being Aplodontioidea for only the family Aplodontiidae (Mountain Beaver and Fossil Relatives), Gliroidea for only the family Gliridae (Dormice), Anomaluroidea for the families Zenkerellidae (Flightless Anomalures) and Anomaluridae (Flying Anomalures), Pedetoidea for only the family Pedetidae (Springhares), Sciuroidea for only the family Sciuridae (Squirrels), Castoroidea for only the family Castoridae (Beavers), and Geomyoidea for the families Geomyidae (Gophers) and Heteromyidae (Pocket Mice, Kangaroo Rats, and Kangaroo Mice), and the mouse-like rodents (suborder Myomorpha) are the most diverse of the three major groups of rodents and are split into four superfamilies being Platacanthomyoidea for only the family Platacanthomyidae (Lasiures), Dipodoidea for the families Spalacidae (Kopatels, Zokors, Bamboo Rats, and Grawes) and Dipodidae (Jerboas), Cricetoidea for the families Calomyscidae (Calomyscuses), Cricetidae (Hamsters, Lemmings, Muskrats, and Voles), Zapodidae (Jumping Mice and Birch Mice), and Sigmodontidae (New World Mice and Rats), and Muroidea for the families Muridae (Old World Mice and Rats), Gerbillidae (Gerbils, Jirds, Sand Rats, Link Rat, Spiny Mice, Brush-Furred Rats, and Rudd’s Mouse), Cricetomyidae (Pouched Rats, African Rock Mice, Climbing Mice, Fat Mice, Gerbil Mouse, Delany’s Mouse, Nikolaus’s Mouse, White-Tailed Rat, Karoo Mouse, Togo Mouse, Vlei Rats, Groove-Toothed Rats, Whistling Rats, and Maned Rat), and Nesomyidae (Malagasy Rodents).
@@indyreno2933 You are delusional lol. Cetaceans themselves are Even Hoofed Mammals.
@@indyreno2933what is your source for this?
Clicked for the pigs, stayed for the piglets.
Real
i was not aware that there are 2 species of warthog. thanks!
Fantastic video, thank you. I had no clue there were so many different wild pig species. Also this made me go look up what a "javelina" is, and turns out it is another name for a collared peccary. So now I know.
One error in the video: white lipped peccary is larger than collared peccary, which do not exceed 30kg.
Love this channel I never retain read info but this channel lists off so many different species other channels never even consider covering
I swear bro was being sarcastic when talking about the Babirusa LMFAOOOOO
These piggies are wild!
Thanks for finally doing a video on Suina😊
Wow, I wrote a recommendation for this episode more than twice on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for this😁😁😁😁😁
Me at 430am : I guess I'm learning about wild pigs 🤷🏿♀️
Can you cover all the domestic pig breeds next?
Your relatives videos are the best !! Really hoping to see the Pinnipeds or eagles/raptors someday :D
Your videos are always informative and unique.
I got halfway through this video and then developed a strong hankering for bacon
Babirussa is indeed the most beautiful animal😍
Thank you for the amazing video, as always
Babirusa? Respectable.
Kea better
You are one of my favourite channels!! Another great video.
Great video! I didn't know about some of the south Asian species such as the bearded pig and the pigmy hog. Just an idea,you can make in the future a video about all the 5 rhino species ,all
3 elephant species and all 4 tapir species
Great quality footage of every pig. Wow
I love all the piggos
Great video. Thanks for uploading.
I did not think I would ever find a pig beautiful, but to my surprise you got a few hairy ones I really like, specially the last of the peccaries is pretty! I met a family of peccaries when in Arizona and was warned for them as they can be quite dangerous, even though small they are quite ferocious, specially when with babies. Now I live in GA and we got wild boar here, which I am not too fond of. Thankfully they are not fond of humans, either !
Incredibly well made video. Loved all the side by side comparisons going from one species to another
The rock stars though 😂
Lol Elvis Presley Hairstyle Pig.😅😂
Amazing vid I am here for it!
Top tier stuff, you just got a new subscriber
They're amazing. Thanks for posting this
Wonderful video. Thank you
I like the way the video flowed .. great presentation & very informative
Pig Deer is translation from Indonesian Language for Babi Rusa. NOT MALAYAN NAME. We use different language and pronounce with Malaysian. They use "Bahasa Melayu" And we use "Bahasa Indonesia"
They're so cool, great video!
Love these videos, probably my favorite series on TH-cam. Patiently waiting for the next one! I hope it's cervids, caprids, or cetaceans though I'll he happy with whatever it is 👀
Thanks for another factual and succinct coverage of this group. Clear descriptions and ranges
This is the greatest video on this website, just a delight.
Great video! Bushpigs are also found in Madagascar (possibly introduced by humans in the distant past) and possibly Comoros
I love your videos man if you can make a video like this, but on the deer species or maybe duck species, which is a lot to ask for since there’s so many species, but if you could make a video on either of these subjects, I would be blessed
Excellent video 😊
Very informative and educational!
10:30 never seen a more beautiful thing in my life 👏
Thank you for your interesting article on wild pigs. I noticed that in the part about peccaries that Chile was not indicated as in their area of distribution. About 12 years ago when fishing around Vulcan Orsono I noticed Chilean pecan nuts and trotter tracks. The nuts that had been eaten I was advised by my guide by Javelinas. Most articles say peccaries are extinct in Southern Central Chile. The area was Quite wild and near impenetrable. Perhaps the article needs some updating? Cheers Gerald.
Thank you for an excellent video.
You should be sponsored by the tourism agency of every country you talk about. Absolutely excellent videos.
Awesome! Pigs are my favorite type of animal. Even the ugly ones are weird and cool and fascinating.
Very interesting and fine work.
Excellent video!
Awesome!
You got a subscriber!
Love your videos! Have been a wildlife biologist & rehabber. I watch the news, then the nature films to feel renewed again.
They all are so cool
Nice Hogs
Great video
thank you!
This video was amazing, where I live have the Collared Peccary and the White Lip Peccary but in my country we call the Quenk,
They are amazing animals 💯
All those pig species on the Indonesian islands makes me wonder if they were assisted in dispersal by ancient humans. Not that they couldn't get there by themselves as pigs are nothing if not adaptable. Perhaps we've been moving pigs around for millennia.
There probably just got there in times of lower sea levels
Nahhh, Bearded and warty pigs are continuously seen to be swim across islands exploring and being vagrant in some islands.
We did introduce bushpigs to Madagascar prehistorically
Suprisly Great Forest Boar(celeng) more populous than Babirusa
12:22 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😂
thanks so much
thank you for sharing the video ❤ , it's very interesting and informative .❤ wishing you a lucky day ❤❤❤
Nice Vid 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙂
excellent vid
Sometimes the algorithm strikes pure gold. Thank you!
I only ever knew new world pigs as "peccaries" until I moved into an area where they live. Around here in west Texas, no one uses that term -- everyone here calls them "javelina". They're amazingly intelligent, and very docile (unlike the feral pigs) until they get into large groups, where they can sometimes get into fights with each other. Around here they also occasionally attack parcels delivered to houses, looking for food.
I've never thought pigs could be amazing. Thank you for opening my mind
Great video! However, did you cover Javalinas?
A video I needed without knowing it.
This showed up right after I ate a hotdog
Lips and a$$holes
Omg they're so cute. 😍😍
In Zimbabwe we have two species
Warthog and Bushpig. Warthog are common but bushpigs less common
Wild boars have one of the nicest coats in the animal kingdom.
Not to hate on you but I'm afraid you forgot the giant pecari, pecari maximus. It was only discovered a few years ago.
From what I have read the giant peccari is normally not regarded as a valid species these days.
@@Ryodraco why that?
@@fallows4life lack of distinguishing features, with its size, physical features and genetics all being within the range found for the collared peccary.
@@Ryodraco oh ok
@fallows4life, the giant peccary is actually scientifically named Tayassu maximus, there are only four extant peccary species under three genera: the Collared Peccary (Dicotyles tajacu), the White-Lipped Peccary (Tayassu pecari), the Giant Peccary (Tayassu maximus), and the Chacoan Peccary (Parachoerus wagneri).
all the cute lil piglets, such joy to stare at, and their vibrant hair.
I can't believe how cute those piglets are
Thanks very much......
Shoe🇺🇸
the European map on the boar: they're all up Norway now! :)
People underestimate how dangerous wild boars can get. A few years ago me and my brother decided to take a trip to the woods on a december afternoon. It was the first day of the winter when it snowed, and we wanted to take some nice pictures in the pine forest. Everything went fine until not one, but two entire herd of boars came right at us, each counting around 12-16 fully grown adults. They stopped to forage for some nuts in the dirt and literally stayed right next to us for like 10 minutes before moving on. I still feel like we got incredibly lucky none of them got startled.
hey man, great work, keep going! but i would suggest that you put the scientific names of the species when presenting then, it really helps to understand the evollutionary proximity between then (for example, when two species are the same genera) and to fijd the referred species in other sources!
This was an excellent video. No woke, underlying climate change BS. Just the facts about the animals themselves. Very refreshing. Thank you. This is the first I have seen, but I hope your other ones are similar. I did subscribe. Well done.
Can we see the different Antelope species next
I can’t believe Im watching this video trying to figure out which species are my bestie look like more. Gonna tell him after finish watching.
I remember vividly how when working I passed a truck containing hundreds of juvenile pigs. It was a nice day and they were sticking out their snouts enjoying the fresh air. They are basically DOGS!
I had absolutely no idea there were so many!! I am still learning about pigeon species out there. Evolution is utterly amazing!!! :) 🐷🐙🦉🐒🦇 🦀🐈⬛🐬🐖🦊🦌🕊️🪼🌷🌱
2:54 "SHE"S GONNA EAT ME!!!"
Awesoooooome 🎉
We hunt bush pigs. They can breed so fast and can hectares out of maize fields! They are HUGe up to 80kg and they can mess you up!!
A10 is missing from this great documentary
The boars 🐗 are so cute 😍
I like red river hogs with their floofy ears and unique red fur
Baby pigs are cute in the exact same way baby rats are cute.
They stop being cute in about three months. Especially the boys, who will cream on you. :) how adorable
2:42 😂the worlds most beautiful animal indeed
i've heard of the pest pigs in the north american south!
El Paso county is one last holdouts in Texas to be free from feral pigs and boars eating up all the food 🐗
My late Grandfather served in the airforce in the 50s, and spent time overseas in West Africa. While he was there, he witnessed a fight between a massive wild pig and a Large domesticated dog…let’s just say the dog DID NOT MAKE IT. Wild Pigs really are not to be messed with.
Red river hog has great ears!
