Mangalica Pigs are no ordinary pig breed. They'd stand out from half a mile away in a lineup of regular pigs. These guys have thick, coarse, curly coats of fur that make them look like sheep, and they were pulled back from the brink of extinction in the 90s in Hungary by geneticist Peter Toth, reported BBC.
Kohl says that if you've got a nice plot of land, a Mangalica can live quite happily.
"You don't need a hell of a lot. You need a piece of land big enough so they can forage and then put up electric fence and then maybe a little shelter for winter. Our pigs have never been inside - even this winter, which was horrific, they've never been inside. They don't get any shots, they don't get hormones, they are as natural as they come. They get all their minerals from the ground, and we rotate them through the pastures, let them tear up the ground, replant and then let them tear it up again," he said, according to Modern Farmer. They live very happy, outdoorsy lives.
We'd do anything to give one of these fuzzy friends a cuddle!
