Are they really pigs??
Not the same as normal pigs but they are closely related.
Yes, they are pigs and they are actually from Guinea. In Guinea, all even-toed ungulates look and act amazingly similarly to rodents.Ironically, in South America, rodents (such as capybara) look amazingly like even-toed ungulates!
