The Kunekune Pig

The Kunekune is a small breed of domestic pig from New Zealand. Kunekune are hairy with a rotund build and may bear wattles hanging from their lower jaws. Their color ranges from black and white, to ginger, cream, gold-tip, black, brown, and tricolored. They have a docile, friendly nature, and can successfully be kept as pets.

 

The breed is believed to have descended from an Asian domestic breed introduced to New Zealand in the early 19th century by whalers or traders. They differ markedly from the feral pig of European origin known in New Zealand as a “Captain Cooker”. The native Māori people of New Zealand adopted Kunekune; kunekune is a Māori word meaning “fat and round”.
