Learn about pigs

The pig is a plump animal that has become an important farm livestock species worldwide. Pigs have stout bodies with small eyes, round snouts, and slender tails. Their skin is covered in coarse bristles that can be black, white, pink, or spotted. Pigs roll around in mud to cool off and protect their skin from the sun. They use their snouts to dig and forage for roots, fungi, and a wide variety of plants and animals. Pigs are omnivores and have a great sense of smell for finding food. Female pigs are called sows, males are called boars, and the young are known as piglets. Pigs are highly intelligent and social animals that travel together in groups called sounds. On farms, pigs are valued for their meat, which includes pork, bacon, and ham. Pig leather and bristles are also used for clothing and brushes. With their iconic oinking grunts, pigs are a lively and productive farm animal.
