Here is the grave of the Baldinger tiger pig. This pig breed is extinct. Baldinger tiger pigs had a thick coat of bristles with irregular black spots on a gray background. In 1857 the Baldinger Tiger Pig was bred in Oberbaden in Baden-Württemberg.

The Baldinger tiger pigs were described as fertile, fast growing and robust.

Nobody knows exactly when the breed became extinct. Luckily, some of these characteristics are still preserved in the Bentheim pig, which has a similar breeding history to the Baldinger tiger pig. You can discover the spotted Bentheim pigs at Arche Warder in “Schweineland”. Today the spotted Bentheim pig breed is also considered extremely endangered, but they are still there. So we should take good care of them.
