The Mangalica (sometimes spelled Mangalitsa (USA) or Mangalitza (UK)) is a Hungarian breed of domestic pig. It was developed in the mid-nineteenth century by cross breeding the Serbian Šumadija breed with Romanian breeds from Szalonta and Bakony. The Mangalitsa pig grows a thick wooly coat similar to that of a sheep. The only other pig breed noted for having a long coat is the extinct Lincolnshire Curly Coat of England.
