NEW YORK — Three adorable little pigs are making their debut at a New York City zoo.

The Juliana pigs are the smallest breed of miniature pig. They weigh no more than 65 pounds when fully grown.

Officials at the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn say the two male and female piglets are siblings.

They’re white with some black spots. They’re also known as miniature painted pigs.

They are known for their pleasant disposition, curiosity and intelligence.

They are housed in an exhibit along with the zoo’s goats, sheep, chickens and other domestic animals.

It is the first time that the Brooklyn zoo has shown pigs of any variety.
