DescriptionThis image depicts two peccaries (wild pigs) in their enclosure at the Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The peccaries are snuffling at the ground just in front of a large tree trunk that is also in their enclosure. They are both facing the left side of the frame. The visible parts of the enclosure consist of a dirt area divided into sections by paritally burried horizontal pieces of wood. Both peccaries are in the section on the right side of the frame. The enclosure is surrounded by a wooden fence with metal mesh attached to it. A single unidentifed man can be seen just outside the enclosure. He is wearing a dark colored hat, a dark colored button up shirt, a dark colored leather jacket, and dark colored pants. His head is turned towards the left side of the frame.On View
