Year of the Pig - LP Zoo

This year of the pig and I do
Wish a Happy Lunar New Year
From home at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
I am a red river hog here.
From Africa come me and mine,
Found wallowing in rivers, and
We are a reddish colored swine,
So hence the name I understand.
Though the keepers keep me well fed,
I like to use my snout to dig
For tasty stuff that might be spread
In the ground waiting for this pig.

If I notice you coming by,
I'll wave a long ear to say "Hi."
