About the Pig

Pigs are domesticated animals descended from wild boars, raised primarily for meat. These intelligent omnivores have been living alongside humans for thousands of years. Pigs have an excellent sense of smell and are used in some regions to hunt for truffles. Contrary to popular belief, pigs are clean animals when given sufficient space. They are social creatures that form close bonds with each other and even with humans. Pigs communicate through various grunts, squeals, and body language. In the wild, they play an important role in ecosystems by turning over soil as they root for food.
