A pig’s snout is a good tool for finding food in the ground. Pigs have an good sense of smell. Humans farm pigs for meat like pork, bacon and ham. Sometimes people like to keep pigs as pets.
Wild pigs which are called boars are often hunted in the wild. In some areas of the world, wild boars are the main source of food for tigers. Adult pigs can run at speeds of up to 11mph, or in other words, they can run a seven-minute mile. And when they’re not either squealing or talking to one another, pigs will eat almost anything – including human bones. That is why I will never be a farmer. That and pigs are just to messy for me, I mean seriously... rolling in mud. When kept in a group they will snuggle close to one another, and sleep nose-to-nose. A mother pig is called a sow. Baby pigs are called ‘piglets’. The pig heart valve is the one that is used the most. Ashleigh
