Pygmy Hog building a nest

Pygmy Hogs are incredibly rare mammals,, they live in the southern foothills of the Himalayas. They are one of very few mammals that build a nest from materials found naturally in their habitat. They do this too sit out the hot sun and also to sleep under during the night. These wonderful little creatures hollow out a small hole in the ground then construct a roof over the top and climb inside to sleep. In this video you see the adult male building the nest as the youngsters watch and try to help in its construction. This video was taken in Assam, India.
