Two new Turopolje pigs have been living at the Alpine Zoo since April 2025. A rare and particularly exciting breed of pig. These animals are real water rats - they are the only pig breed known to enjoy diving for food. A pool has been specially created to provide the two new pigs with an exciting and varied home.
The Turopolje pigs came to the Alpine Zoo through a co-operation with Josef Kranawetter from Juniperhof. In this way, we are supporting the important breeding of this rare breed.
