Visayan warty pig
The Visayan warty pig ("Sus cebifrons") is a critically endangered species in the pig genus ("Sus"). It is known by many names in the region (depending on the island and linguistic group) with most translating into 'wild pig': "baboy damo" (literally, 'bush pig' in Tagalog), "baboy ihalas" ('wild pig' in Cebuano and Hiligaynon), "baboy talonon" ('forest pig' in Hiligaynon), "
the land that is cleared for farming is often unproductive after a few years, the food sources of the Visayan warty pig are extremely limited, a factor that has contributed significantly to the pig's dwindling numbers.
