Piggies in 3/4M

3/4M was lucky enough to look after two little piglets for a day. The piglets were two weeks old and we named them ‘Willow’ and ‘Micky’. To make sure we could look after the piglets properly, we did lots of research about Pigs. Have a look at some of the interesting facts we found…

·       China has the highest number of domesticated pigs in the world

·       Pigs are distant cousins to the Hippopotamus

·       There are around 2 billion pigs in the world

·       Pigs are said to be smarter than dogs. They are very intelligent animals

·        A mother pig can have up to 16 piglets

·       Pigs have four toes but only use two to walk

·       Despite their reputation, they are very clean animals

·       They use their nose to find food

·       Pigs cannot regulate their body temperate so they stay cool by rolling in mud (it also stops them from getting sun burnt)

·       Pigs don’t sweat

·       Pigs don’t have very good sight but they have a great sense of smell.
