Gunston Hall's Ossabaw Island Hogs Ossabaw Island Hogs Cleatus is our first Ossabaw Island Hog. In this photo, taken in September 2000, he poses for us immediately after a cooling roll in the mud.
Ossabaw hogs come from an isolated island off the coast of Georgia.
It is thought that they descend from Spanish pigs left on the island in the 1500s. Soon after getting Cleatus we found an Ossabaw Sow companion for him. Click here for information and photos of her.
