The adorable creatures were born at San Francisco Zoo in late October

Towards the end of October, the San Francisco Zoo welcomed a total of six Chacoan peccary pups. Two of them were born on October 27, whereas the others were delivered a couple of days later, on October 29.

Despite being only about a week and a half old, the pups are surprisingly active.

The video above shows them exploring the outdoor habitat with the rest of the family, and enjoying the perks of having nothing to do except look cute from sunrise to sunset.

The Chacoan peccary, otherwise known as tagua, lives in the Gran Chaco, a lowland natural region divided between Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina.

By the looks of it, it does not mind living in this hot, semi-arid area, and used to thrive in this part of the world until humans came along.

Wildlife researchers estimate that just 3,000 such animals are left in the wild, and the International Union for Conservation considers the species to be an endangered one.
