New Face in Town

There are a lot of pig faces to be found on the web, but you've never seen this one before. I bring you original uglies, baby.

It is believed that most pigs come from the Eurasian Wild Boar. It is also believed that while most livestock were first domesticated by nomadic peoples, the pig was domesticated by settled farmers. This is because pigs are difficult to herd and move over long distances. I think it's because Nomad Joe got a good look at one of these and thought better of it.

    Pigs do have the ugly to cute cross over potential. But I have no idea what he might have to say. Pigs are supposed to be smart, though, so who knows.

    I'm glad the transition from Cute Overload to this wasn't too damaging.

    Also, thanks for the giant isopod, Mitch. They will definitely be making their debut very soon.
