Several of the animals are currently in foster care with the Calgary Humane Society.
There are two in the litter and they were born on Dec. 11.

“When the hoglets were born it was very important that we waited 10 days before they could be handled and ensure they and the mom were not disturbed in that time,” Philip Fulton, from Calgary’s Humane Society, stated.
