Despite being intact, he is no smellier than my other pigs, and seems not to be over-sexed. He is a shy fellow with people ... jumping aside if I touch him even gently in passing. He is, however, getting used to taking food from my hand, and sniffing me close enough to almost touch!
This (below) is his treading/champing thing ... He is trying to impress. He treads with his front feet, almost in a play-bow, gnashing his tusks and looking ferocious (not!). I have posted a video of this in a prev post.
Apparnetly the wrinkles are a boar thing in pot-bellies. I hypothesize that they provide extra loose skin for fighting ...?
