Newborn Wagner’s peccary piglets make their debut at Prague Zoo

Visitors to Prague Zoo can now see three newborn Chacoan peccary piglets, born on March 26. The rare animals, related to pigs, are doing well, with the herd helping to care for them alongside their mother.

Once thought to be extinct, Chacoan peccaries were rediscovered in 1972. Only a few thousand remain in their native South America, where deforestation threatens their survival. Prague Zoo is one of just two European breeding facilities that regularly breed this endangered species.
