Pigs

Our pigs are a mixture of Iron Age, Kune Kune, Pot Belly and Wild Boar. 


 

Fun Facts

  • Pigs are extraordinarily intelligent. They are curious and insightful animals who are widely accepted as being smarter than young children of at least three years of age, dogs, and even some primates.
  • Like humans, pigs are omnivores (meaning they eat both plants and other animals).
  • Pigs have an excellent sense of smell. A pig’s snout is an important tool for finding food in the ground and sensing the world around them.
  • There are around two billion pigs in the world.
  • Pigs are extremely social animals. They form close bonds with other individuals and love close contact like lying down together.
  • Pigs are very clean, keeping their toilet area far away from where they lie down and eat.
  • Even newborn piglets will leave the nest to go to the toilet within hours of birth.
  • Pigs are pregnant for three months, three weeks and three days.
  • Pigs can live for up to 25 years.
