pig facts

Are you bored? Or researching pigs? Well, you’re in the right place.

Pigs can squeal pretty loud; and by loud I mean 115 decibels! That’s louder than a super sonic airliner! Pigs can talk. Pigs are known to oink AND squeal, but a pig’s real language is in their body language and oinks/squeals. So next time a pig oinks at you, he/she may be hungry! If you didn’t know, pigs are really smart and social, too. Pigs sleep together snout to snout and they dream. If you ask me that’s really cute.

You may think pigs are really slow, and they are right? No they are not! It turns out pigs are really fast. By fast I mean 11mph, and you may think that’s slow, but for an animal, that’s pretty fast! Try to beat that! You may not know that pigs are really smart. Research shows they are smart enough to know their mother’s voices. Pigs even know their own names in less than a month. Mother pigs even sing to their young. That’s pretty smart! If you’ve ever heard someone call someone “as sweaty as a pig?” Well, turns out pigs have only a little bit of sweat glands.
