Look! A super cute black and white baby boar
Are these the 101 Dalmatians?
No, no, no! They are wild baby boars.
When wild Taiwan boars are born, they usually have yellow-black stripes like Sika deer
and change to black once they're fully grown.
But this is the first time that black-white baby boars have been spotted.
They are the offspring of wild boars at Luo Ming-zhe's orchard in Song-he Village, Taichung City.
The dad of these two different patterned boars is a wild boar from outside of the orchard.
Luo: "Wild boars sometimes jump into the orchard; they're really hard to get."
Reporter: "Would they chase the sows around?"
Luo: "Yeah, they [black-white baby boars] are the result of the chase."
After wild boars jumped over the fence to mate with the sows, these cute piglets were created.
These baby boars are just a month old and many people have come to take a look.
Reporter: "Your family likes them a lot right?" Luo: "Heck yeah, they're cute!"
Luo: "And it's the first time we see two such white and fat baby boars"
According to the Council of Agriculture, these piglets are the result of mutant genes.
