Lonely Lợn Ỉ

A depiction of the endangered Vietnamese Pot Belly Pig (Vietnamese: Lợn Ỉ). No longer primarily being bred for meat, it's survival largely depends on it's fickle popularity as an imported pet in the West. As with the last native rhinocerous poached in Vietnam, the species could soon be extinct.
