I heard that pigs, pre-selective-breeding, were pretty cute https://www.leidenme...

Wild piglets are very cute [1], adult wild pigs less so [2].

We used to have warthogs in Africa.

Def not-cute.

They have an unbelievably small brain case for a medium-sized quadruped mammal

The head of the pig in the cave is such a nice "friendly pink pig" cartoon of a modern breed that I do feel like it would be more appropriate to call it "drawing of a creature that happens to look deceptively like a drawing of a pig" instead of "drawing of a pig". Far more appropriate.
