Pigs are known for being relatively hairless, pink and porky. Just like any species though, there are always exceptions. The 'Lincolnshire Curly Coat,' as it's name implies, actually had a curly coat. It was also known for it's hardy nature. Unfortunately, this rare breed went extinct in 1972.
Before this, in the early 1900's, Hungarians crossed the Lincolnshire with a similar curly coated pig of theirs called the Mangalitza. The result was the "Lincolista" or the the "Curly Coated Mangalitza." They can have blonde, red or black coats.
With the support of the British Pig Association, Paradise Pig Farm, a rare big breeding organization, decided to continue to breed these Mangalitza pigs.
