Here are some pig facts for you:
What is a group of pigs called?
The name is different depending on the AGE of the pigs! A group of young pigs are called a drift, drove or littler. Older pigs are called sounder of pigs (if wild) or a herd of pigs.
What do pigs eat?
Pigs are omnivores, which means they eat everything. In the wild they mainly eat leaves, roots and fruits – but also some insects and fish!
What are baby pigs called?
Piglets! A male pig is a boar and a female pig who has had piglets is a sow, if she hasn’t had babies she is called a gilt.
What is the pig’s nose called?
A pigs nose is called a snout. Pigs are foraging animals and they use their snouts to find food. A pigs nose is has a great sense of smell! That is why they are used to help hunt out truffles.
