This pig is taking a break. Actually, I think this is pretty much normal behaviour for pigs—lying around in the dirt, taking a load off.
He's fortunate. He (she?) lives in a petting area at Keukenhof Gardens in The Netherlands, surrounded by the most spectacular floral displays. Shame he can't get out and sniff and snort and root up the tulips.
But tiptoeing through tulips isn't really a talent of pigs. So they keep him in a pen.
Pretty pig.

I have never seen a pig in a petting zoo before.

KathyR, you obviously aren't going to the right petting zoos.
And to call this one a "zoo" is something of a stretch. It seemed an afterthought, something to promise the kids if they'll just be quiet for one more tulip bed.
