#hogs — Public Fediverse posts

Last night #BoardGames at #HoGS. An excellent game of First Class. So glad I pulled this older game off the shelf, it really is very good. A couple of rounds of Zoovadis, new to me and good fun. Finishing with my lowest score ever in Ra. I still love it though.

Finally completed that comic. It *is* heavily watermarked, which is more clearly visible in the final panel that the rest of it.

Dear Friends of #cakes (pan cakes that is), ​:ablobcatcoffee:​
As you may know, the easiest recipe is two #eggs and one mashed up banana (a recipe beloved of #Minions) 🍌
#Search for '2 ingredient one banana two egg pancakes', if you missed the recipe. I sprinkled it with #lime juice and had #strawberries and #grapes as a side delight. #Breakfast yum. Done. ✔️

So now to the less important and #impotent events. Managed to send a #federated #toot from my #apple #iphoney, without swearing and #ranting about having to use one #finger. Nigella #Ferengi Farage (UK) and Donna 'Nazi gal' T-Rump are still in the news? Why? Feed them to the #hogs. They will and have, us poor minions, #plebs and armchair #anarchists. ​:anarchy:​

And in #luvvly news:
- #Trees to be given the #vote (oh wait that was a #dream) 😇
- #Witched... eh #watched 3 episodes of 'The #Acolyte'. Good? Yes.
- Drinking a pot of black #tea and #spiced #turmeric teabags. With milk. Works. Good.

Have a wonderful #Sith, Sin, Sun, day. Be kind to everything... especially yourself. 🦋

Sulawesi Babirusa Babyrousa celebensis

Sulawesi Babirusa Babyrousa celebensis

IUCN Red List: Vulnerable

Extant (resident): Sulawesi, Indonesia

The Sulawesi Babirusa also known as the North Sulawesi Babirusa are wild pigs are found on Sulawesi Island along with nearby islands Lembeh, Buton, and Muna in #Indonesia.

They have a mottled grey-and-brown skin that helps them blend into their forested habitat. One remarkable feature of babirusas is their large tusks. They have two pairs of elongated canine teeth that curve upward and backward towards their heads.

For males, their upper canines grow so long that they protrude through holes in the flesh on the top of their snouts. Sadly, these unique creatures are threatened by deforestation caused by the palm oil and timber industries along with hunting and mining. You can help by making conscious choices. Consider going vegan to support the movement against palm oil, and join the call to boycott palm oil and protect wildlife with the hashtags #Vegan, #Boycottpalmoil, and #Boycott4Wildlife. Together, we can make a difference for the Sulawesi Babirusa and their habitat.

Nurturing and sweet Sulawesi Babirusa are #hogs native to #Sulawesi #Indonesia. They face multiple threats including human persecution, #hunting and #palmoil #deforestation. Help them survive #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect https://wp.me/pcFhgU-6sm

Female babirusas have shorter canines that do not protrude as much. The local name for this unique creature translates to “pig-deer,” highlighting the resemblance of the male’s tusks to the antlers of a deer.

Sulawesi Babirusas are sociable creatures, with females typically forming small family groups and males occasionally living in bachelor herds or having a solitary existence. Dominance hierarchies are established by both males and females within their respective groups.

Appearance & Behaviour

Babirusas are diurnal wild pigs, being active during the day. They engage in foraging sessions during the mornings and late afternoons, while seeking rest during the scorching midday hours. It is common to find them congregating in large numbers around wallowing areas and salt licks. Communication among babirusas involves a diverse range of vocalisations, such as grunts, moans, screeches, growling, and teeth clattering.

Threats

• Palm oil deforestation: Over 75% of lowland forests on the island have been lost due to deforestation, driven by the expansion of palm oil production.
• Timber deforestation: Deforestation has also caused the depletion of more than 75% of lowland forests on Sulawesi, primarily for timber extraction.
• Hunting: Babirusas are hunted for food, particularly in North Sulawesi, where they are sought after for local markets.
• Iron ore mining and deforestation: The potential mining of iron ore, especially in the northwestern part of the northern peninsula, poses an additional threat to babirusa habitats.
• Climate change and extreme weather: The impacts of climate change and extreme weather events may exacerbate the challenges faced by babirusas, particularly in the natural dry zone of northwest central Sulawesi, leading to reduced tree cover and fruit availability.
• Accidental and deliberate trapping: In coastal areas, some babirusas are unintentionally or intentionally trapped for the Bali mask-making trade, specifically for their teeth. If you go to Bali – DO NOT buy a Balinese mask for this reason!
• Human population expansion: The expansion of towns, the growing number of restaurants, and the demand for non-Muslim preferences contribute to increased pressure on babirusa populations across the entire island.

Habitat

These fascinating creatures can be found in a variety of habitats throughout the region in the island of Sulawesi and nearby islands like Lembeh, Buton, and Muna in Indonesia. They primarily dwell in the underbrush of tropical forests and canebrakes, but also frequent the shores of rivers and lakes. Sulawesi babirusas have adapted to thrive in diverse environments, making use of both land and water habitats. Witness their incredible versatility as they navigate and thrive in the different landscapes of Sulawesi and its neighboring islands.

Diet

Sulawesi babirusas are versatile eaters, enjoying a wide-ranging diet including leaves, roots, fallen fruits, nuts, mushrooms, and even invertebrates. Occasionally, they demonstrate their hunting skills by preying on small mammals and birds.

Mating and breeding

North Sulawesi babirusas have the ability to reproduce all year round. When it’s time to give birth, female hogs prepare soft nests on the ground using dry vegetation. The gestation period for these remarkable creatures typically lasts for approximately 155 to 166 days. When the time comes, females give birth to 1 or 2 well-developed piglets, who quickly gain independence as they can stand on their own shortly after birth. Around 10 days old, the piglets begin to consume solid food, gradually transitioning from their mother’s milk. The weaning process takes place between 5 and 12 months of age, marking an important milestone in their development.

Support the Sulawesi Babirusa and other wild pigs by going vegan and boycotting palm oil in the supermarket, it’s the #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

Maybe. Ive been looking at a bunch of guides like this.

They do look pointy like a deer but they seem to point outwards instead of inwards and they seem to have large dew claws.

What do you think?

#deers #hogs

Last week's #Hogs and #Pigs report surprised analysts, several of whom were calling for the smallest populations in six years. Instead: a slight year-over-year increase as a result of a record 11.61 pigs saved per litter rate this summer.

#Missouri's hog population as of Sept. 1st was slightly higher 3.4 million, buoyed by a four-percent jump in the state's pig crop.

Back when I was a kid, and for some time after, I thought “This little piggy went to market.” meant that it went into town to do some shopping. Nope.

Three brass pigs I found at Bismarck Antique Mall that went wee wee wee all the way home with me. #vintage #antique #brass #pig #pigs #hog #hogs

Just learned there's a farmer in my area who drives around picking up pumpkins that were used for Halloween decor that are now overripe to feed their hogs and I think this is brilliant.
