One ordinary day a hog met a badger and after a few extraordinary dates, the two fell in love and got married. Two years later they were the proud parents of a bouncing baby Hog Badger.
Okay, so maybe that’s not exactly the story of how the Hog Badger came to be but I like to think it is. How else could such a bizarre creature have come about?
The Hog Badger grows to up to 28 inches in length and has a stocky body with an elongated snout and a pig-like nose. The creature is becoming exceedingly rare in its natural habitat and overhunting is a major concern.
