SNOOOOOOORRRRF!

Snorf. [Camera tips over due to vacuum]

piglets

Photograph by Sean Crane of a young bearded piglet in Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo, Indonesia. They have some serious snorting going on over there. I can almost feel the wind rushing in that direction. Fabulousness brought to you by National Geographic, natch!

Yikes! I can’t decide if this photo is cute or disturbing. Maybe it’s cutesturbing…

2 Jay 10.29.09 at 9:52 pm

3 Theresa 10.29.09 at 9:54 pm

I vote cute on the little snorfmeister, but I LOVE the word “cutesturbing” and I thank AuntieMame for coining it!

Getting a jump on Nosevember?

15 chanpon 10.30.09 at 4:43 am

His nostrils are bigger than his eyes!!

16 Lose That Girl 10.30.09 at 5:18 am

I suddenly feel the need to vacuum.

17 Jenn 10.30.09 at 5:19 am

Awesome pic. :-)

18 J. 10.30.09 at 5:23 am

Either that little piggy has been lying up a storm or someone attached a vacuum hose to that poor little bearded pig’s face.

(Btw, I’m with Jenn: Awesome pic.)

19 Wolfie 10.30.09 at 5:27 am

What an INCREDIBLE pic!! Huge props.

20 Saffron 10.30.09 at 5:31 am

I would beep that nose, but I worry about getting sucked into that thing and ending up in Narnia somehow.

21 Nucleus 10.30.09 at 5:35 am

Now THIS is a schnozzle worthy of its name <3
Ahh, sweetness *dies*

22 DillPig 10.30.09 at 5:53 am

Ahn, a pink, probing, prehensile snouty, perfect for kissing [shifty eyes....]

23 Blondie 10.30.09 at 6:17 am

Cutesturbing – excellent!

I tried to beep, but got sucked in.

24 MissKitty 10.30.09 at 6:30 am

wow… now THAT is a schnozzle.
*golf clap*

25 Desdemona 10.30.09 at 6:52 am

OK, now you’ve done it — this is the second one this week from Nat.Geo. You are forcing me to bookmark them in my cute-files!

26 Katrina 10.30.09 at 6:56 am

Boy, if this is on ‘Tocktober, Nosember will be really great!?

27 cath 10.30.09 at 7:16 am

Smooch!!! I just wanna keeess that snorffly pink nose.

28 chet, ruby, and miaoux's mommeh 10.30.09 at 7:50 am

ooh, ohh, what’s the name of the 2 stripey babies in the background, anyone?

I lurve this piggy’s snozzette, and his little eyes!

29 Mamamclain 10.30.09 at 9:10 am

The wall-eyed look and the loooooooooooong nose… very interesting, but very cute concept.

30 divinebluesky 10.30.09 at 9:24 am

holey cannolli, what a snout!

31 Von Zeppelin 10.30.09 at 9:46 am

His secret identity is mild mannered reporter Philbert Desanex.

32 Hon Glad 10.30.09 at 10:22 am

I wonder if he knows any Schnozzle Durante numbers
“Inka dinka doo
adinka dee
adinka doo”

33 Paunchie 10.30.09 at 10:55 am

E-Yew, you wanna smooch that schnozzle, Cath??

34 Marianne H 10.30.09 at 12:45 pm

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha omg that just keeled me over laughing. CUUUUUUUTE!

35 MC Squared 10.30.09 at 3:07 pm

It reminds me of Wonder Warthog.

36 Von Zeppelin 10.30.09 at 4:35 pm

MC Squared, I modestly refer you to my post # 31 above. Most of these CO folks are too genteel to have read those cartoons back in the day. You want to come to my place, have a few beers, and look at some comics?

37 MC Squared 10.30.09 at 8:54 pm

I forgot about his alter ego, Philbert Desanex. I just remember his nose freaked me out. I seem to remember something about rubber weevils.

38 Lerrinus 10.31.09 at 7:27 pm

I second, third, fourth or whatever the cutesturbing tag but did anyone notice the Nightmare tag?

Um, was it there before or am I just slow to notice it? *shifty eyes*

39 Gert Deli 11.01.09 at 8:59 am

What is that a mixture of a pig and an anteater or something

40 rubber duck 11.02.09 at 5:58 am

That’s…just…amazing.

Pig snouts are one of the cutest things in the world, but never saw one THIS size!

Here’s another shot of the same piggy. That’s a curious little fellow! :)
