Nickname: Pig

Caractheristics:

The pig can come in many colors and sizes as there are many different types of pig. The common thread between them all is their flat nose, stumpy legs, fat sausage like body and they love to play in the mud!

Height:

Pigs normally grow up to about 1.2 meters (3 ½ ft) in height and 1.5 meters (5ft) in length; however there is a record of a pig being 5ft in height and 9ft in length.

Weight:

Pigs can normally weigh up to 220kg. The heaviest pig on record has weighed in over 1000kg (1 ton). He was called Big Bill…..Humungous comes to my mind!

Where they live:

All over the world except in chilly Antarctica . Pig is truly a multicultural animal.

What they eat:

On the farm, pig loves a good serving of vegetables, corn and just about any scrap you may leave on your plate. In the wild, pig will scoff on a good tree root, grass and a few grubs when it can sniff them out….ooooow!
