Another great spotting Adam. I saw these as well but in Lope NP but was unable to get a photo. Looking through your spottings I can't believe how many of the exact same places we have been! The only difference I guess being that I'm paying to go and you're getting paid to go! Hahaha!
Here's my zoo spotting of these beautiful hogs, which I only offer up so you can see the cute babies which look like little watermelons --http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7198433
Fantastic pictures! I have never seen a animal like this...
Great spotting!
A rare spotting I would say, never seen them before in any nature documentaries...cool!
Cool! I didn't know about them!
I LOVE these hogs but have only seen them in the zoo.
Very neat!

VERY NICE SPOTTING !!!!!
Wow nice spotting! these are cool hogs, we call them in Dutch penseelvarken (paintbrush pig) because they have the paintbrush like ears.
