Bush pig
Potamochoerus porcus
The brush-eared pig lives in the forests of Africa. It has bright reddish fur, white markings on the muzzle, and long tassels on the ears.
The brush-eared pig differs from other African pigs with its bright red coloration and tassels on the ears. It digs up the soil and spreads plant seeds, helping the forest stay healthy.
