Pigs wallow in mud for a number of reasons, for protection from the sun, protection from insects, scent marking, parasite removal and simply just to cool off.
This little Elk Antler piglet is either sunbathing or wallowing in the mud. He has cute focused eyes of Black Pen Shell and a snout of Pink Mussel Shell. His ears and tail are inlaid of Deer leather. His legs are spread out to either get the full warmth of the winter sun or he is fully relaxed wallowing in the mud on a hot summer day. What ever this little piglet is doing, he is cute doing it.
