fbhjrToday in the early afternoon I wandered out to the back parking lot. There at the entrance to their burrow was one of the ground piglets!
Before you say “Gee, Frank, they must have overcome their fear of you!”, this is what it looks like without the zoom on my camera.
The zoom is good...
I was beginning to give up hope of getting a picture of the piglets. I tried luring them out with carrots. They tried one, spit it out and left the rest.
You can see the piglets are almost as big as their mom, and only really different in being a slightly lighter shade of brown.
