Aren’t they cute? Meet the first arrivals of the year at Wildwood wildlife park.

Harriet the wild boar gave birth to three piglets at the Herne Common park, its first young of 2009.

Proud father is TV star Boris, a magnificent 400lbs wild boar who has appeared on Richard & Judy, Sir David Attenborough’s The Life of Mammals, Blue Peter and many more programmes.

Wildwood Trust is campaigning to save wild boars from being hunted to extinction. It has asked the Government to legalise the status of the animal and let it take its place in the countryside, helping to restore our natural woodlands.

Visitors to Wildwood will be able to see the piglets taking their first steps.

They are born with stripes which help to camouflage them in the undergrowth and are suckled for about 12 weeks.
