Wild Boar Piglet
Wild Boar piglets can have as many as 10 brothers and sisters to contend with! Their light ginger-brown coat, with stripes, provides them with camouflage to hide from predators.
Just like our little piggy here, who has been designed to look as realistic as possible and simply adorable to hug.
Wild boars are very similar to pigs, but they have stocky, powerful bodies with a double layer of grey-brown fur. Their top layer is made up of wiry, bristly hair and the under layer is a softer, short coat. Their tusks are very distinctive, pointing upwards from their lower jaw, and are used to protect themselves from predators. They’re nocturnal animals so they’re most active at night. That’s when they’ll hunt for their food. They love seeds and fruits but also mice, lizards and snakes.
Fast Fact
Male wild boars have an extra tusk on the upper lip which they use for sharpening the lower tusk.
Habitat
Woodland.
Believe it or not...
Wild Boars can spend up to 12 hours sleeping in the day!

It’s all in the detail
Look closely at our animals and you won’t be able to believe how close they are to the real thing. Our artists add shading and texture by air-brushing each animal by hand, for a realistic finish down to the very last detail.
The eyes have it
Soft and gentle or cool and piercing, every animal’s eyes are different. That’s why we don’t use the same eyes for all our soft toys – we match them perfectly to the animal. Just look at the baby blues on our Frenchie puppies if you don’t believe us!
Trimmed to perfection
Our animal artists trim our toys’ fur by hand to get the finished product as close as possible to the real thing. From short fuzzy fur on noses to just the perfect amount of fluff on a tail, we make sure every friend is looking its best for when it comes home to you.
Two good to be true
Look closely at an animal’s fur and you’ll see more than one colour in each strand. We use two-tone fur fabric on lots of our animals to make them extra realistic, even adding prints to add depth and texture to your new friend’s coat.
