I always wanted to see one of this ones. I thought it was like an experiment: A vibrant orange pig with ears like elf and beard. I saw one for the first time in a zoo in Valencia, Spain a few years back.
The species is common, and there are no major threats. The main threat will be the growing pressure from hunting for commercial bushmeat trade. It is one of the most hunted species in the Congo Basin and it makes up 40% of the bushmeat sold on markets in Gabon.
Experiments of raising in captivity have shown its susceptibility to stress during capture, low rate of survival of young (11–57%), but rapid adaptation to confined environment and human company.
