Kunekune pig

Kunekune

Description:

It's a rare pig species, and the name Kunekune means "round & fat" in Maori language...We met these young kunekune pets at Coopstown, near Little River in Banks Penisnsula...The spotted one is the male, the brown one is the female...They were grazing just outside their master's house, when they saw us and came to play with us...They were sooooo friendly, we stayed with them for about half an hour, they're amazing animals!
