Pig

Frankly, the prevalence of the phrase “hog wild” led me to expect a bit more dynamism.

Looks like an American Guinea Hog - that sweet face right there looks a lot like our Mamma Pig. They're hairy and most of the time socialize to humans very wel. Careful with the larger boars (250lb and up) as they don't understand just how strong they are; Mayer has a gorgeous set of tushes, and can't remember when he's excited that he can hurt people with them. Usually just offering him belly rubs will calm him right the heck down. Oscar's a little more stand-offish, but also loves his belly rubs.
