Cute piglets and dead fish
A wild boar family forages for food in a forest in France. Wild pigs like these have lived in European forests since prehistory. The piglets are striped, presumably for camouflage while they are still in the nest. The piglets follow their mother as she looks for food. The litter of piglets suckle from her. After they are weaned their stripes will fade. Pigs are not fussy eaters, so some wild boar scavenge for dead and dying fish in the mud of a shrinking pond. The wild boar may have been domesticated when it scavenged for scraps around human campsites.
