Piggies in Peru



I have a fondness for pigs, well, more for piglets. I found this family outside a touristy market stop at the start of a bus journey through the Sacred Valley in Peru. The piglets were quite docile, and happy to follow their hairy mother around, sniffing around for tasty morsels in the grass. What can’t be seen in this photo is one of the piglets, who had the same colouring as its mother, but with spots instead of stripes like the others. 

They didn't seem at all bothered by the bus loads of people pulling up, focusing much more on finding something tasty to munch on. How I wish I could scoop up the little one on the right and take it home with me!
