乌干达基巴莱森林的布什猪表现出至少 4 种毛皮颜色变化。两个主要变种与西方亚种 P. p. 相似。 porcus，以及东部/南部亚种，P. p.科伊罗波塔姆斯。基巴莱森林可能是亚种之间的次要接触区。或者，基巴莱群体可能介于临床极端之间。群体规模为 1-11 头猪，平均值为 3.2 头。在所看到的丛林猪中，有 1/3 尚未成熟。还对活动和饮食习惯进行了观察。
Bush pigs of Kibale Forest, Uganda, exhibit at least 4 pelage color morphs. Two predominant morphs resemble the western subspecies, P. p. porcus, and the eastern/southern subspecies, P. p. koiropotamus. Kibale Forest may be a zone of secondary contact between subspecies. Alternatively, the Kibale population could be intermediate between clinal extremes. Group size ranged from 1-11 pigs with a mean of 3.2. Of the bush pigs sighted, 1/3 were immature. Observations were also made on activity and food habits.
