The ears are stretched out like rabbits, and the body and tail also look like kangaroos.

If you look at his face, his nose looks just like a pig.

This unique-looking animal is a 'ground pig'.

The San Diego Zoo in the U.S. unveiled a piglet that was born last July.

There are only about 100 rare animals in zoos around the world.

They live mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, where their habitats are decreasing due to crop clearing and their populations are decreasing significantly due to poaching.

A ground pig weighs about 2kg when it is born, and when it grows up, it weighs more than 60kg.
