Pafos Zoo has new additions: three black piglets and one pink one with black spots (video)

At the Paphos Zoo, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig gave birth to three black piglets and one pink with black spots. The mother carried the cubs for three months, three weeks and three days. Each newborn weighs just over a kilogram. After four years, their weight can reach 50 kg.

Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs are surprisingly sociable and intelligent animals. They live in strong families, and in terms of intelligence they can compete with dolphins and primates. If you're in Paphos, come and meet us!

Due to their ability to socialize and have a good disposition, pot-bellied pigs have spread throughout the world as companion animals. A 120-pound hog named Max was actor George Clooney's pet for many years.
