Wild boar piglets a ‘welcome new arrival’ to closed Whipsnade Zoo

Five baby wild boar piglets have been described as a “welcome new arrival” to Whipsnade Zoo while the centre is closed to the public.

The zoo in Bedfordshire welcomed the litter of piglets over the Easter weekend to mother Wilma and father Otis.

“The piglets are a really welcome new arrival to Whipsnade and a nice boost for us keepers who are still working hard while the zoos are closed to the public,” said zookeeper Gracie Gee.
