EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frank Greenaway showcases two Red river hogs (Potamochoerus porcus) in captivity. The image, taken in the UK, captures these magnificent creatures from a side view, emphasizing their unique snouts and distinctive hog-like appearance. The vertical composition adds a sense of height and grandeur to the shot. The animals' behavior is on full display as they engage in rooting, a natural instinct for these hogs. Their indoor enclosure provides an intimate setting that allows us to observe them up close without any human presence. This absence of people further emphasizes the focus on the animals themselves. Red river hogs are known for their striking reddish-brown fur with white stripes along their bodies. They possess long tufts of hair on their ears and tails, adding to their overall charm and allure. These captive animals seem comfortable within their surroundings, exhibiting natural behaviors despite being confined. Frank Greenaway's skillful photography perfectly captures both the physical attributes and animal behavior of these Red river hogs. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards captive animals while also allowing us to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness they bring into our lives through images like this one from Universal Images Group (UIG).
