Sexing Estimating age/sex

Hi there! I am looking into adopting a third pig for my two girls. Recently, someone found some pigs that were abandoned in a park during the recent heatwave. I wanted to adopt the one that survived, given that it is a girl. The woman who rescued them sent me pictures and they seem to match my own pigs' genitalia, but I wanted some other opinions. Also, what would be an estimate? I think the pig is close but perhaps slightly younger than mine, who are roughly a year and a half. Pictures attached!

No way to tell the age unless the pig is very young (soft, easy-to-cut nails) or old (tough, curled nails).

And yes, that looks like a girl, but compare her to https://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm.
 
I was viewing that and the GuineaLynx article on sexing as well. That's the only picture I have right now since I am not with the pig currently. When I meet it, I'm definitely going to check for a prominent pubic bone or a penis. Hopefully a girl!

Thank you for the information. :)
