The
domestic pig is descended from the wild boar. By breeding, around 70
breeds have been created in different colours worldwide.
Pigs
are mostly pink and have a bristly fur. But depending on the breed,
they can be brown, black or pied. It is said that the animals are dirty,
because they like to wallow in mud. In fact, they simply make
themselves a cooling mudpack in hot weather, just as elephants do. In
addition, the mud protects against insect bites. Some people even keep
pigs as pets - because they are very peaceful, sensitive, social,
curious and intelligent.
