HONOLULU — The Honolulu Zoo is now home to four, 6-month-old American mini pigs and three Anglo-Nubian goats that are younger than nine months, according to a City and County of Honolulu news release. 

The animals will join the Keiki Zoo, which is a petting zoo located next to Kapahulu Market, the zoo’s food stand. 

All the animals come from a local farm in Waianae. 

The goats are named Oreo, Neo and Rocky, after ice cream flavors. 

Anglo-Nubian goats are a British breed of large dairy goats. In the U.S., the goats are popular for dairy because they produce 4-5% butterfat, which is perfect for making cheese. 

The pigs are named Hubba, Bubba, Big Red and Wintergreen, after gum brands. The pigs’ keepers noticed them making sounds like someone chewing gum. 

The American mini pig is a domesticated pig that can grow up to 200 pounds. 

“We are very excited to have seven adorable new additions to our Keiki Zoo,” said Honolulu Zoo Director Linda Santos in the news release. “As visitors were not allowed to pet the goats in the Keiki Zoo during the pandemic, these animals have been vaccinated and are now able to enjoy personal contact with our guests. They will join Lani Moo the cow, Crabitha the coconut crab, Julio the rooster, Petunia the hedgehog and other keiki favorites.”
