I don’t know about you, but I know a lot of animals that just love hanging out in the water.
After all, Labradors — like this adventurous pup — and lots of other retrievers are renowned for their love of the water. Even felines have been known to get in on the life aquatic, like these adorable tiger babies learning to swim!
But even though I’ve gotten used to encountering unexpected animals that love to hit the waves, the last critter that I would have expected to find on the beach is Ziggy.
Ziggy, also known as Ziggy the Traveling Piggy, is a pot-bellied pig who grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands with his “parents” Kristin and Jay. Recently, the family has been undertaking a road-trip, returning to the mainland US to travel across the country in their mobile home.
The only flaw in their new adventure is that they don’t have easy access to the beach they way they did back in the Caribbean. Ziggy, who is an island pig at heart, misses the water after a while.
So Kristin and Jay make a point of stopping at bodies of water whenever they can in their adventures. Ziggy has now experienced lakes, rivers, and bogs, and appears to be an equal-opportunity splasher!
That said, his favorite place will always be the beach. Check out the adorable footage that the couple captured after bringing Ziggy to hang out at nearby beach during their travels.
