20 mins confidence: 
Tamworth pig Explanation: without any context, this is what I suggest: "Tamworth Pig is among the oldest of porcine breeds, but its population is considered rare and critical. This animal is of ginger to red colouration and is thought to have descended from wild boars, via native pig stock of Europe. " They are apparently very friendly animals as well (see link). So: "bête de compagnie" (companion animal) Link also has pictures. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamworth_Pig |

[...] FRENCH NOMENCLATURE IS GENERALLY IN VOGUE AMONG SPORTSMEN TO DESIGNATE THE AGE, GROWTH AND CHARACTERISTICS OF WILD SWINE. Thus sucklings, wearing a livery of two shades of brown longitudinally striped upon a ground of white and fawn, are marcassins, or “boarlings.” After six months, when the ery, they become change their liv- BETES ROUSSES; “Little red beasts,” and when a year old are BETES DE COMPAGNIE, going in troops. Pigs, two years old, are ragot; twelve months later, sanglier a son tiers an, lit- erally boars that “scratch themselves,” and with the fourth year are quartern- niers. Subsequently the titles of grand sanglier, “big boar;” vieux sanglier, “old boar,” and vielermite, “old hermit,” obtain. Also a boar is farrowe when he has obtained his full complement of teeth, and pigaches, an abbreviation of pieds guaches, when marked by a twisted and crescentric hoof or a toe longer than its fellows. From the time a boar is ragot or sanglier, he is always solitary; but the sows and boarlings, along with bêtes rousses, and bêtes de compagnie, for nine months of the year associate in herds for mutual protection. http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:NO5NzMJPPf4J:www.aafla.... |
