This national park set in Assam, India, is known for its endangered and rare wildlife such as the Pygmy Hog, Golden Langur, Hispid Hare and the Assam Roofed Turtle.
Scientists working for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust have used DNA sequencing to prove that the 12-inch tall pygmy hog of Assam in India, a species so rare it was once believed extinct, belongs to a unique evolutionary line.
Additional Asian species of wild pigs include the Javan Warty Pig from Indonesia, the Bearded Pig from Sulawesi in the Celebes and the two rarer and protected species, the Pygmy Hog from the Himalayan foothills of Assam and the Barbirusa from the Sulawesi, Togian, Sulu and Buru Islands in Southeast Asia.
