At first these bearded piglets ran away from me but then slowly they came out of the forest to investigate, and eventually came so close that I was able to switch to my widest angle lens to get shots of them inches away sniffing the front of the glass. There were eight piglets in all as well as their blind mother who had lost both of her eyes somewhere along the way. An orangutan was in a tree just above them and was playfully swatting at the babies. Apparently, they live in harmony with each other and I had a few other sightings of adult pigs foraging for fruit closely behind the orangutans, picking up their scraps. The adults are truly ugly creatures (in a good way) and get their name from a thick beard around their snout.
