A fact from Mangalica appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 July 2008, and was viewed approximately 0 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Mangalitsa (pictured) is a lard-type pig breed that was the most prominent swine breed in Hungary until 1950? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/July.

Someone deleted all the 'white woolly' pictures of these (probably usage rights deletionists). These pigs really do like like "sheep pigs" with white curly hair (and not wild boars). If you have a good picture you took yourself please upload it for this article; Thanks! --GlowBee (talk) 11:26, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can they be farmed for wool? FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 00:47, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not easy to tell from a page that's without any reference whatsoever, but this appears to be a content fork which should become a redirect to this article. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:36, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I took this picture on a trip to Budapest Zoo of a mangalica and I grant CC rights for it to be used if it suits the purpose for the page. The face is not visible, but it's a good image of the hairy coat. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yjdz3fmdau2dxrp/IMG_2835.jpg?dl=0 The page says the Tropical Wings Zoo in Essex, UK has mangalica, this is no longer true - see here for a list of animals they have, there are no pigs http://www.tropicalwings.co.uk/animals.php However they have been introduced onto heath land in Dorset, UK http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29472957 --Kicsinyul (talk) 17:13, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that picture would be a good addition to the article, face or not, Kicsinyul, because it shows the coat and was taken in Hungary. Would you like to upload it to Commons (at the highest resolution possible!) so that it can be used? If so, the starting point for doing so is here, and the Upload Wizard should lead you through the steps. Thanks for pointing out the other things too; you are of course free to edit the article yourself. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:26, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
