Animal Apprentice: Billy the Boar
12/1/2026 | 12 min
Growing up on the plains as a boar, you’ll need thick skin; luckily, Billy the Boar is born with it! After Billy’s dad takes a terrible tusk to the gut (from none other than his own mother), it’s clear that eyesight isn’t exactly a boar’s greatest gift. But don’t worry, boars have plenty of other survival skills up their snouts. Giggle along as Billy guides our listeners through life in the sounder (that’s the word for a group of baby boars) and shows you what it really takes to grow up wild, tough, and just a little muddy.
