A few days ago, two piglets from the highly endangered “Turopolje” pig breed moved into the newly renovated pig facility at the Linz Zoo. “Dorothea” and “Jutta” are the names of the two pigs with the characteristic black spots.

Now stable population
The breed originally comes from Croatia, but the population there had shrunk to 20 to 30 animals. In 1994, five animals were brought to Austria, followed by two more boars in 2000 and 2001. With great sensitivity, the Turopolje pigs were brought into a now stable population, despite the low genetic basis. From now on, the Linz Zoo is also helping.
