The white cockatiel, named Meimei (younger sister妹妹), loves to play with kids. It always follows people’s request to dance on their hands or shoulders. With a coat of coarse bristly hair, the boar is called Maoguai (毛怪). Many kids are often intrigued by Maogui, as Formosan wild boars are not very common.
