Potamochoerus porcus
The red river hog (Potamochoerus porcus), also known as the bush pig (but not to be confused with P. larvatus, common name "bushpig"), is a wild member of the pig family living in Africa, with most of its distribution in the Guinean and Congolian forests. It is rarely seen away from rainforests, and generally prefers areas near rivers or swamps
The babies are with the dad in the first picture. The second picture is the mom. The dad does a fair amount of socializing and teaching the babies how to get along.
