New Essex Piglets arrive in time for Spring Colchester Zoo
 
imageJust in time for Spring a new Essex Pig Sow arrived at the end of February from Jimmy's Farm bringing along with her her 11 week old piglets!

The Essex Pig is a very rare breed and was once extinct in 1967. They are still offically classified as extinct however farms, like Jimmy's, are doing the best they can to make the Essex Pig become one of the first breeds of animal EVER to be reintroduced into the world.

Colchester Zoo is proud to have the rare breed of pigs and they can be seen in the Essex Pig enclosure in the middle of Familiar Friends!
