KuneKune (pronounced cooney cooney) pigs come in a variety of colors, such as ginger/black, black/ginger, ginger, cream, black/white, brown/white, and more. This is quite a bit more variation than other pig species. These pigs are also set apart from other pigs by the presence of wattles that hang just below their jowl. KuneKunes are also pure grazers (grass-eaters), which makes them unique among other pig species.
