Houston Zoo shows off adorable, newborn piglets

Houston Zoo staff have their hands busy with not one, but two different species of adorable newborn hogs.

On Thursday, the zoo announced the birth of two baby red river hogs, native to Western and Central Africa.

Earlier in the week, the birth of Gus the Warthog was announced — the first warthog piglet born in the zoo in nearly 10 years. Warthogs are found throughout much of Sub-Saharan and Western Africa.

A video of Gus the Warthog can be seen above..

In addition to showing off the exotic animals to Bayou City residents, the zoo is also working to protect both species of hogs in their native habitats by providing funding for anti-trapping and conservation education efforts.

The red river piglets have yet to be named or make a public debut.
