"It's so cute--all of the same family came out to look for food," said Ma Wenhu, a staff member of the Tangjiahe area of the Giant Panda National Park, who encountered a mother wild boar leading six piglets in the rain looking for food on the morning of Sept 8.

Ma said he was so excited to see the family he immediately took photos and short videos. The mother wild boar has dark brown and furry body; the six babies meandered close to their mother, nibbling food as they move.

Ma said there are office buildings, accommodation areas and restaurants near the Tangjiahe Nature Education Center, and many wild animals are attracted to this popular site.
