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.

Can Pigs Swim?

There is an island in the Bahamas where you can regularly see wild pigs swim!
