It’s March 1, 2024, and that means it's National Pig Day! Here are some awesome facts about pigs:
They are highly intelligent, ranking 3rd behind apes and dolphins.
Pigs can dream like humans do.
They have poor eyesight but have very powerful noses.
They don’t have sweat glands.
Pigs are naturally clean and wallow in mud purely to keep cool on hot days (and it’s fun!); they also go to the bathroom in areas separate from their sleeping and eating places.
They can run up to 11 miles per hour.
Pigs can squeal or scream up to 130 decibels; in comparison, a jet engine is 120 decibels.
