Behold the bearded pig. One of the more unfortunately constructed beasts in all the wild. Personally, I think the animal’s utter grotesqueness has a certain charm. These guys would follow the orangutans around in Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo and pick up their scraps. Sort of the garbage men of the jungle.

WOW, really strange looking. In my opinion if you look a sec it’s a few faces in one. Like the nose doesn’t belong…weird! Really freaky looking…unforgettable. You are right, rather fetching though :). Great shot!

That’s a ‘handsome’ snout! I agree that sometimes ugly animals are so ugly they are actually cute. Ditto Vicky’s comments.
he looks like he’s been snuffling around in the dirt all day looking for some truffles! such a funny creature! I like him!
Aside from the freaky snout, his eyes are really really beady.
awesome: “unfortunately constructed”
