Did your know?
Pigs are one of the smartest animals on the planet. Their intelligence ranks higher than dogs and even some primates!
In their natural state, Pigs are very clean animals. They keep their toilets far from their living or feeding area.
When they are trained piglets can learn their names by two to three weeks of age and respond when called and can learn tricks faster than dogs.
Pigs use their grunts to communicate with each other. The grunts made by pigs vary depending on the pig's personality and can convey important information about the welfare of this highly social species.
Pigs are very social animals. They form close bonds with each other and other species and some like to cuddle up close, especially at low temperatures.
Because the breed has often been kept in orchards, it has earned the nickname of “The Orchard Pig” and the legend that the black spots are bruises from falling apples!
