The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs has exciting news for animal lovers: a Red River Hog baby, born earlier this year, has been confirmed to be a male. This charming little hoglet has quickly become a beloved attraction at the zoo, delighting visitors with his playful antics and adorable nature.

Red River Hogs are known for their distinctive appearance, featuring a reddish-brown coat and striking white facial markings.

In addition to their playful nature, hoglets enjoy snacks and naps, making them a joy to watch. The zoo encourages families to visit and witness the hoglet's development, as well as to learn more about the importance of wildlife conservation. With each passing day, this little one is sure to capture the hearts of all who come to see him.
