	Animal Bytes: Wild Swine
		Because their habitat is disappearing due to logging, bearded pigs are considered pests as they move onto farmland in search of food.
		The wild boar is the ancestor of the domestic pig Sus domesticus found on farms.
		Wild pigs are generally social, living in close-knit groups called sounders.

	The Kinabatangan River Basin
		Hoofed mammals which are mainly active at night include wild cattle or Tembadau, bearded pig and four species of deer namely sambar, greater mouse-deer, barking deer and lesser mouse-deer which is also the world’s smallest hoofed mammal.
		Carnivores include the Malayan sun bear, the world’s smallest bear, four species of wild cat namely clouded leopard, which is the largest wild cat in Borneo, the leopard cat, marbled cat and flat-headed cat.
		Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary is one of two known places in the world to be inhabited by ten species of primates four of which are endemic to Borneo.

	NATURE. The Joy of Pigs. Pigs Around the World PBS
		On the Indonesian island of Borneo, just north of Sulawesi, bearded pigs spend their days snout to the ground, sniffing out fruits that fall from the lush rainforest canopy.
		The peccary is not a pig, but a relative that shares the pig's sensitive snout.
		And since a pig has no sweat glands, mud also draws heat out through the skin, helping to regulate the pig's body temperature on hot days.

	History of Pigs
		The warty pig (S. verrucosus) and the bearded pig (S. barbatus) live in parts of Southeast Asia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
		Areas in Africa south of the Sahara are home to the warthog (Phacochoerus aethiopicus), the giant forest pig (Hylochoerus meinertzhageni), and the bush pig (Potamochoerus porcus).
		The babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa) lives in regions of Indonesia.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Mindanao-Eastern Visayas rain forests (IM0129)
		The Philippine warty pig is closely related to Sus barbatus of the Greater Sundas and was once thought to be a subspecies, analogous to the Palawan bearded pig (Sus barbatus ahoenobarbus).
		The pigs are in an especially poor situation because they tend to raid crops and are regarded as pests; consequently, no protections are in place for them (Oliver 1993).
		Philippine deer are widespread (though patchily distributed) in the Philippines, being found on Luzon, Mindoro, Samar, Leyte, Mindanao, and the Basilan Islands.

	Captain Pugwash
		The Good Captain was a simple man and no match for his various shiver-me-timbers foes but fortunately he was regularly rescued from the clutches of black-bearded arch villain Cut-Throat Jake (of the 'Flying Dustbin') by the cunning and courage of the Black Pig's cabin boy Tom.
		blustered pirate Captain Pugwash to the work-shy crew of his ship the Black Pig as they sailed the Seven Seas and encountered adventures.
		Author-artist John Ryan, creator of Captain Pugwash and, later, Sir Prancelot recorded the Captain's adventures for over twelve years through four series.

	Borneo!
		Due to its rich forest, its proximity to the mangrove and its dissected terrain, Kubah supported a large and varied animal community, such as bearded pig, mouse deer, squirrel black hornbill and many species of amphibians and reptiles.
		The forest is generally mixed dipterocarp forest, also containing several species of fruiting trees and interspersed with patches of scrub forest of Kerangas.
		The Kerangas was however found to be riches than usual, maybe due to the lowland topography and the igneous intrusion making up the hill slops.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Palawan rain forests (IM0143)
		Balabac, Palawan, and the Calamian Islands also provide habitat for an endemic subspecies of the bearded pig (Sus barbatus ahoenobarbus), another subspecies of which is widely distributed in the Greater Sundas.
		Palawan's forests are of low commercial value because of the small number of dipterocarps, and until the last twenty years Palawan's forests were ignored in favor of the more valuable forests of Luzon and Mindanao.
		The Palawan binturong is hunted for meat and as pets, and the pangolin is hunted for its hide (Quinnell and Balmford 1988).

	Chapter 5.5- Action Plan
		The bearded pig occurs in archipelagic South-east Asia, extending from the large landmasses of the Sunda shelf (Peninsular Malaya, Sumatra and Borneo) to Palawan and neighboring islands in the west Philippines.
		Sus barbatus ahoenobarbus, in the the Calamian Islands, Palawan Province.
		Palawan still supports the highest percentage (59%) of forest cover of any of the larger islands in the Philippines, although almost all of the island's forests are subject to logging operations, despite their low commercial value (Quinnell and Bamford, 1988).

		Other notable species include carnivores such as sun bear Helarctos malayanus (V), clouded leopard Neofelis nebulosa (V) and marbled cat Felis marmorata (I), and ungulates such as Bornean yellow muntjac Muntiacus atherodes, red muntjac Muntiacus muntjak, bearded pig Sus barbatus, sambar Cervus unicolor, lesser mouse deer Tragulus javanicus and greater mouse deer T.
		Of the eight Bornean species of hornbill, six occur within the reserve, namely; rhinoceros hornbill Buceros rhinoceros, helmeted hornbill Rhinoplax virgil (K), bushy-crested hornbill Annorrhinus galeritus, black hornbill Anthracoceros malayanus, wreathed hornbill Rhyticeros undulatus and wrinkled hornbill Aceros corrugatus (R).
		The ungulate populations, however, are low due to excessive hunting, and are probably well below the carrying capacity of the environment.

	Natural History: The nomads of Gunung Mulu - Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Borneo
		The practice of molong allowed the forest to regenerate and continue to provide the Penan with such staple foods as fruit and sago and, indirectly, with bearded pig and several species of deer.
		The forest also provided the Penan with such jungle products as gaharu (an aromatic wood used as incense and medicine in China and elsewhere in Asia), bezoar stones (monkey gallstone, used in Chinese medicine), rattan, edible bird nests, wild-bee honey, camphor, and tree resin.
		These items were once exchanged for salt, tobacco, shotgun shells, cooking pots, iron tools, and fabric, but today the Penan are just as likely to trade jungle products for jean jackets, T-shirts, running shoes, wristwatches, sunglasses, plastic teacups, floor covering, radios, and videocassette players.

	Chapter 5.5- Action Plan
		Bearded pigs are also reported to be intensively hunted on Palawan, though precise data is lacking on their range there and any future fieldwork on this island is likely to be seriously compromised by the presence of armed rebels.
		The construction of logging roads has also facilitated access to formerly remote areas, which, together with the depressed economy and relative high price of meat, has exacerbated hunting pressure and the increased use of such (non-traditional) hunting methods as pig bombs (McGowan, 1987).
		Palawan still supports the highest percentage (59%) of forest cover of any of the larger islands in the Philippines, although almost all of the island's forests are subject to logging operations, despite their low commercial value (Quinnell and Bamford, 1988).

		A subspecies of mouse deer, the Balabac chevrotain ( Tragulus napu nigricans), which is confined to Balabac Island, is also considered endangered.
		Five endemic mammal species are considered vulnerable, including Acerodon leucotis, the Palawan treeshrew ( Tupaia palawanensis), the Palawan stink badger ( Mydaus marchei), the Palawan binturong ( Arctictis binturong whitei), and a Sunda tree squirrel ( Sundasciurus rabori) (IUCN 2000).
