c) Upon seeing him, the eight bristly piglets and their hundred-pound mother try to break through the circular trap’s soft net, only to bounce back to the centre.
a) Monaco and his colleagues free the sow and one piglet, then enter the 20-feet-wide enclosure to catch the other youngsters for study.
b) Amid the strong smell of wet boar, mud, and faeces, one researcher announces with a smile that the baby he was holding had urinated on him.
