[Squeals and snorts of delight]
Rumember back in the 60's when we all thought the Pygmy hogs were extinct? Well good news. A few years later, some peegs turned up at a market, and were rescued and re-habbed.Now, a bonche of them are being released back into the wild.
They're all snortin' around 'n stuff. More on the story here from Times UK.
Watch out for pythons, little Dewds! You too, Apsi W.

Look at the little spotty stripes along the wee(ing) one's flank!

Mega: Piggytinkle LOL excellente.
LOLed at all the "toilet humour" the Peeps.
so actually/obviously they weren't extinct.
Awww!!! I love these little piglets. I even have a realistic soft toy piglet at home.
If you do assume it is peeing, check out the hind legs and you'll notice just a bit of the elusive but much-discussed "wide stance"... It really does exist (the wide stance that is, and actually, the pygmy too)!
Pig O'Little just taking his morning constitutional through the forest. Doesn't everyone?
That is just the cutest lil' thing I ever did see.

i must kiss those eyes
Hmm -- how can I make a few for myself? Hey, maybe if I put some chipmunks and guinea pigs in a disco with Barry White rumbling through the speakers ...
(rubs bruised hand)
Um, anyone else bump their monitor tryin' to pet teh piggie?
No? Ok, (hides hand) me neither.
OMG! Pygmy Proshness. I just love this little guy.
Is that piggy peeing?
Well.. I'd say so since there's a nice wet puddle under it, he's kinda squatting and has that satisfied "aaaahhhh" look lol.
It's adorable though. I just want to nomnomnom on the ears!
Aw, it looks like a little watermelon! I want to nibble it all over (I would never admit that to anyone but you guys).
Me theenks he is peeing :)
"Aaaaahhhhhhhh, that's better"

What a cute overbite!
Why, when he was a young warthog...
When I was a young wart hoooog!

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thoughta changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Ev'rytime that I...
@vssrgrl: "Wide stance" LOL!!!
