Coco Pigs[1] are a species of pig-like creatures in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Coco Pigs appear on a palm tree and serve as a mini-boss. When Donkey Kong confronts a Coco Pig, it will take coconuts and either chestnuts or ice balls, depending on the location, from the tree and throw them at him. If one of the projectiles hits Donkey Kong, he will lose beats (or a heart in the New Play Control! version). Donkey Kong can deflect the objects with his Sound Wave Attack, punching one back at the palm tree. When Donkey Kong hits the tree three times, it breaks apart, defeating the Coco Pig. Donkey Kong is rewarded with five bananas. The various Hog bosses act similar to Coco Pigs, and have similarly-structured Japanese and internal names.

Coco Pigs first appear at the end of the second level of Watermelon Kingdom, Desert Oasis, and later appear in Cactus Mine and Asteroid Belt. There are two Coco Pigs in both Aurora Glacier and Magma Coliseum.

Coco Pigs appear to have sunburns on most of their bodies, with the areas not affected implying they sometimes wear clothing.
