WWX thinks that LWJ wants to bind his hands after all but LWJ has another plans lol hehehe WWX doesn't know the meaning of the ribbon, cause LWJ never gave it to him even during their wedding but it seems like he still understands this noble act of LWJ tying not only WWX's but his own hand too, as if saying that he is together with him in all.
But for LWJ? He just demonstrates them all what he already said before but they didn't seem to understand - WEI WUXIAN AND HIM ARE MARRIED!!!

New family, Pigs!!
What a great way to start! The Red River Hog, a very popular animal in zoos. Have you seen it? It was challenging to find a nice reference but I'm very happy with the one I found.
Check the process on my Instagram It will appear soon in the club. Consider joining here

Phacochoerus – Warthog
I love this ugly! Since I was a child I feel impressed by his horrendous face. Still somehow to me is beautiful.
There are six subspecies of Warthog until now but it could be more or less depending on further studies of some of this subspecies.
Common Warthog, Nolan Warthog: Mothers they are very aggressive, they can charge at bigger predators for defending their piglets. it is very a important element of the food chain since has many predators such as humans, crocodiles, hyenas, lions, leopards and even some birds of prey.
Southern Warthog: It can be found in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe
Central African Warthog: It can be found in Kenya and Tanzania
Desert Warthog, Somali warthog: Morphological differences between Desert Warthogs and Common Warthog have been overlooked until recently, that now they can be distinguished in the wild. Desert Warthog has drooping genal warts, tips of ears that bend backwards, swollen suborbital pouches round the eyes, and a shorter basi-occipital region that makes the head look “egg-shaped”.
Cape warthog: It used to be seen in the South African region but became extinct in 1865. I couldn’t find the reasons or a better image to take as a reference.
Eritrean warthog: Can be found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia.
The next species is the last one from this huge family and and one of the most estrange from the suidae family: The Babirusa.

Red River Hog
I always wanted to see one of this ones. I thought it was like an experiment: A vibrant orange pig with ears like elf and beard. I saw one for the first time in a zoo in Valencia, Spain a few years back.
The species is common, and there are no major threats. The main threat will be the growing pressure from hunting for commercial bushmeat trade. It is one of the most hunted species in the Congo Basin and it makes up 40% of the bushmeat sold on markets in Gabon.
Experiments of raising in captivity have shown its susceptibility to stress during capture, low rate of survival of young (11–57%), but rapid adaptation to confined environment and human company.

Bushpig
I actually didn’t know this one even existed. I was confusing it with the Red River Hog, which sometimes is also called Bush Pig. It always surprised me to see new species I didn’t know.
Considered as a conspecific with the Red River Hog which is now regarded as a separate species. Too many subspecies of the bush pig has been recognized in the past. There are now three tentatively subspecies validated:
Southern Bushpig: Found in lower Congo River (left bank), Angola, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, Swaziland, the Caprivi Region in Namibia, and South Africa.
White-Faced Bushpig: Found in Ethiopia, S Sudan, E Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Somalian Bushpig: Can be found in Tana, Juba, and Scebeli Rivers in NE Kenya and Somalia.
Vercammen and Grubb, 1993, however, proposed just two subspecies of bushpig, the Southern bushpig, and the White-Faced bushpig. According tho them, the Somalian bushpig has insufficient evidence to be classified as one.
Another possibly subspecies of the Bushpig are the Madagascar bushpig, The Edwards’ bushpig and the Nyasan bushpig. However, studies are almost sure that this species were introduced during historic times.

Forest hog
This is a special monster. The first time I saw this hog I was impressed by how ugly is and still how magnificent.
Three subspecies are provisionally recognized:
Congo Forest Hog: Ranges from southeast Nigeria to Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Giant Forest Hog Occurs as scattered populations from the Albertine Rift Highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo to the eastern (Gregory) Rift Valley in Ethiopia and Kenya.
West African Forest Hog Can be found in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Nigeria
The Giant Hog that inhabit in Ethiopia could be another subspecies to classified. However further taxonomic studies are required.

Pygmy Hog
This is the smallest species of the family and sadly one of the most endangered species as well.
This hog is the sole representative of Porcula, making its conservation even more important, as its extinction would result in the loss of a unique evolutionary branch of pigs.
The destruction of its habitat has been its main problem, reducing its viable population in to the Manas National Park. However, even there threats as livestock grazing, poaching, fires and natural predators persist. The total wild population has been estimated in less than 150 animals.

Domestic Pig
It will be a countless list to name all the breeds of domestic pig. Strangely, few of the are extinct such as Yorkshire Blue and White, Small White, or the Small Black, all of them from the United Kingdom. Some others are very rare like the Choctaw Hog, the Mulefoot or the Ossabaw hog, all of them in the United Stats.
The smallest known domestic pig will be the Göttingen minipig, weighing about 26 kilograms as a full-grown adult. and the largest is a breed of China Poland hog, weighing 1,157 kg.

The last list of wild boar subspecies. As I mentioned in previous post, this is a large subspecies with 16 validated. Although, there are some debates since some other studies recognise up to 32 subspecies.
Ussuri boar, Korean Boar, Amur Boar, Manchurian Boar It is the largest subspecies of all. Can be found in Eastern China, Ussuri and Amur bay.
Formosan Wild boar, Taiwan Wild Boar When winter comes the Formosan wild boar migrates into lower elevetaion areas. They don’t posses sweat glands therefore roll themselves into muddy wetlands to keep them cool and get rid of parasites. It’s population remain stable.
Trans-Baikal boar, Siberian Wild Boar Can be found in the Lake Baikal region, Transbaikalia, northern and northeastern Mongolia.
Ryukyu boar Can be found in the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan.
Northern Chinese boar, Chinese boar It’s have been found significant variations within this subspecies, which make possible that there are actually four subspecies involved:
- North Vietnamese wild pigs are raised in Ba Vi , Hanoi - Phu Yen boar is raised at the rare animal farm in Hoa Khanh and Khanh Hoa - Cat Tien boars are raised on farms in Can Giuoc , Long An and Dong Nai - Binh Phuoc wild boar in the Southeast region
Banded Pig, Indonesian Wild Boar It is the most basal subspecies having the smallest relative brain size, more primitive dentition, and unspecialised cranial structure.Recently, in the context of the taxonomic revision of the Sus scrofa species , some scholars have questioned its alleged close relationship with the wild boar, to the point of considering its classification as a separate species within the genus Sus ( Sus vittatus ) more correct.
Japanese Boar, White-moustached Pig, Inoshishi, Yama Kujira In Japanese culture it is widely seen as a fearsome and reckless animal. Several words in Japanese referring to recklessness include references to boars. Among hunters in Japan, the boar is a source of admiration, and rural people commonly name their sons after the animal.

Indian boar, Andamanese pig or Moupin pig These are animals mainly nocturnal. Females and young males move in small groups of about ten individuals, while the old boars are solitary for most of the year.
North African boar, Barbary Wild Boar This wild boar have been documented swimming offshore islands up to 7km apart. Ten different vocalizations have been distinguish. It is also remarkable that each mother can recognize her own offspring voice.
Central Asian boar Can be found in southeastern Iran, Pakistan and Northwest India.
Middle Asian boar, Black-footed Boar This boar can be seen in Middle Asia, Kazakhstan, the eastern Tien Shan, western Mongolia, Kashgar and possibly Afghanistan and southern Iran.

Wild Boar / Sus scrofa The most subspecies with a total of 16. Different authors recognize up to 32 subspecies. Colin Groves undertook probably the most comprehensive review when proposing the recognition of at least 16 morphologically distinct subspecies. However, his work has been challenged by Peter Genov who proposed recognition of only 4 subspecies. We are going to follow Colin Groves studies and we portrayed 16 subspecies. today the first four. Central European boar This boar was held in a high esteem by the Celtic culture and it was often seen engraved in helmets, shields and swords. It was considered a sacred animal.
Carpathian boar One of the biggest if not the biggest subspecies with males recorder to weigh more than 300 kg. Such size make immune to wolves. Nowadays is rare to see an animal that size, due to past overhunting which prevent animals from attaining their full growth.
Mediterranean boar, Sardinian wild boar The Sardinian wild boar shows a significant closer relationship with the domestic pig. This suggests that this subspecies was originated in the Neolithic from populations of domesticated domestic pigs.
Anatolian Boar Very common board in the Judean and Jerusalem area. In Haifa, they can be spot roaming the streets of the city, specially in darkness where they destroy big can trash in the searching of food. They can be dangerous at night to car drivers. Maremman boar It is assumed extinct due to the introduction of another subspecies in the area. Because of the crossing of subspecies, the subgenus in question lost its unique gene pool.

Vietnam warty pig, Heude’s pig, Indochinese warty pig
This pig was described from two skulls collected in southern Vietnam in 1892, near to Ho Chi Minh City. Another specimen (an incomplete but apparently fresh skull of a juvenile male) has been reported from Ban Ni Giang in the Annamite Mountains.
Despite studies being done in the last century is still unclear if this was a new different species, a subspecies of the Wild boars from Indochina or even the same animal. This is just a reminder of how much is needed to be known about species in order to classified them correctly and see if somehow, we are able to understand them better.

Javan Warty Pig
These pigs are also killed by farmers because they eat their crops at night. It is also seen as a trophy by hunters due to its large size. Curiously, another threat to this animal comes from natural causes. It’s closest relative the Banded Pig (Sus scrofa vittatus) shares similar habitat ranges as the Javan Pig, competing for resources and also cross-mating creating hybrids of the both.

Philippine Warty Pig
Loss of natural habitat, uncontrolled logging and hunting, have been forced into close contact with domestic pigs, and hybridization between the two species has been reported. Accordingly, genetic contamination of Philippine Warty Pig stock is a real and irreversible problem
More recent mtDNA studies have suggested the likelihood for separating ‘philippinensis’ and ‘mindanensis’ as two full different species.

Oliver's warty pig / Mindoro warty pig
Listed as Endangered because its extent of occurrence is less than 5,000 km² being its area of occupancy less than 500 km². Even though accurate records are lacking, the distribution range of this pig is severely fragmented. There is also a continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat, and in the number of mature individuals caused by over-hunting. Hybridization with free-ranging domestic pigs introduced and maintained by hinterland communities is an additional and likely serious additional threat.

Visayan Warty Pig
The Visayan Warty Pig has two subspecies that were recognized as such until 2000. Unfortunately, we have lost one of the subspecies, the Cebu Wart Pig and the other, the Negros Warty Pig is critically endangered.
Its biggest threat is habitat loss causing by commercial logging and farming. It is extinct in 98% of its native range.
Other studies indicated that there might be other subspecies of this Pig inhabiting the island of Panay in the Philippines.

Bornean Bearded Pig What an ugly pig yet fascinating. Bearded Pigs live in one location for the majority of the year and are active during the day. However, this is the only pig that migrates and when they do, they congregate by hundreds and migrate at night, always at the same time of the year and using the same route. Yearlings have never been seen migrating so it is supposed that reproduction is timed before migration. The migration is led by old male boars. It is still unsure why the migration occurs.
