Bali Barat National Park still keeps its vulnerable gems in Bali Island. Behind its success story in breeding the native Bali Myna, there is a unique situation when the wild pig also exists under the extensive pressure. Most of the wild pig I found were tame. Living nearby the temple within the forest, those survive by consuming the rubbish left by the visitors. However, the one in the picture was the "wild" one. I found him hiding behind the bush then running away while being photographed.
