These Bornean bearded piglets had yet to grow their namesake beards. I was on the ground snapping away with my long lens when they came closer and closer. I quickly swapped out lenses to my wide angle and got a few shots before they continued on their way. Bearded pigs like to follow orangutans through the forest, hoping to clean up the scraps left on the forest floor after meals. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 800, f/4.5 at 1/500th of a second.

The wide angle lens showcases the long snout. Wonderful shot. Great example of how animals work in tandem to feed themselves.
Thanks Rachel. It was fun to watch these guy show up as soon as the orangutans moved through, leaving half eaten fruits in their wake.
I’m a bit taken by the stripes on their back! Fun shot!
I’m in love!
Wow! I do like the detail in the bearded piglet in the foreground & the wee-one on the background adds a nice size comparison.
