What could be cuter than a newborn piglet? TWO newborn piglets! Last week, a Visayan warty pig named Fancy gave birth to two adorable striped piglets at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida.

Though the Visayan warty pig is native to two of the Visayan Islands in the Philippines, director of animal programs at the Brevard Zoo says people often mistake them for domestic pigs or wild boars. “They’re actually members of a distinct species on the brink of extinction,” she says.

So these two little piglets are a very big deal. Along with their siblings born to Fancy in 2008, they're poised to help revitalize their species and become legends in their own time.

The Australasia section of the zoo is closed for renovations, so guests won't be able to get up close and personal with the piglets for a few months. But the zoo promises to keep their Facebook page updated with cute videos like these:
