This tender display of family relations among momma and piglet is, for lack of a better word, heartwarming. You know it's a great piece when it moves viewers to go embrace their mothers
I've featured this work in my journal , and I hope you don't mind!

These guys seem pretty ubiquitous in American zoos, and I'm always happy to see them.
Magnificent shot of this cute little mother/daughter (or son) bonding moment.

Cute.
We don't have any wild pigs where I come from and the kind that would usually be wild is all locked up in zoos.
Would be nice to have them roaming free again.

yeah it would be nice but they can be really destructive! I used to work on wild boar and they wreck everything in their home range
