The red river hogs at the Houston Zoo share a habitat with two troops of western lowland gorillas in the Gorillas of the African Forest exhibit, which opened in 2015. 
 
The yet-to-be-named hoglet can be seen in the dry riverbed of the habitat along with his mother, the other two adult hogs, Neptune and Luna, and nearly 1-year-old females Artemis and Ophelia.

The zoo said the animal's keepers will name the hoglet.
