Palawan Bearded Pig - Sus barbatus ahoenobarbus
Location: Puerto Princessa , Palawan , Philippines
Pigs, especially wild, are even more intelligent than dogs. I cry every time I see one on the way to slaughter. The Palawan pig is a truly wild variety, with extended whiskers for feel and protection in Palawan’s thick virgin jungles. Intelligent as it is, this pig was difficult to photograph, always going for my camera the instant I approached the chain link, a gesture of attention rather than attack.
