Palawan Bearded Pig

The Palawan bearded pig, looking at thier distinct white beards, one will immediately notice that Palawan bearded pigs are not your ordinary wild pig. Aside from their white hairs covering most of their face. Palawan Bearded Pig also feature longer snouts and canine-like teeth. These gentle animals are endemic in the Philippines particularly in the islands of Calamian, Balabac, and Palawan.
The Palawan Bearded Pig is measured to be 1-1.6 m in length, 1m tall and at least weighs 150 kg.
 
Before they were officially named as "new species"' Palawan Bearded pigs were classified as a subspecies of  Bornean bearded pigs. But unlike the latter, Palawan species are more sedentary or "laid back" in nature. Males are more solitary while female bearded pigs tend to form a community or "matriarchal groups" to perform several group tasks such as territorial defense.
