Kune Kune
The Kune Kune pigs origin is unknown, but were possibly introduced to New Zealand by Chinese cooks on sailing ships that visited New Zealand around Captain Cook's time. Kune Kune pigs have characteristic cheek tassels and short snouts.
They are very friendly and have a gentle nature. Kune Kune pigs make great pets, and can be taught tricks like sitting on command.
