In my travels, I’ve noticed that there are cat countries and dog countries. Some places, like Morocco, are littered (pun alert) with stray cats. There are other nations, like many of those in the Caribbean, that are home to large populations of stray dogs. Then, of course, there are the monkey countries, but that’s a story for another day. What you don’t see nearly enough of, however, are pig countries. Sure. there are populations of dangerous wild pigs out there, but one wants to encounter a pack of those. I’m talking about cute little pigs. Who wouldn’t enjoy stumbling into a couple of cuddly porkers downtown?
This photo by Flickr user Where and Back shows off just such a dream scenario. That must be the nice part of town because those two look dapper. And they provide a nice change of pace from the stray dogs and cats (and monkeys) that we’re all used to seeing.
Have a picture of some unexpected urban animals? Or maybe just some great travel photos? Submit your images to Gadling’s Flickr group and we might use one for a future Photo of the Day.
