The domestic pig belongs to the family Suidae. Its scientific name is Sus scrofa domesticus. An adult male is a boar, and an adult female is a sow. A young pig is called a piglet. Pigs are omnivores and eat roots, seeds, fruit, and leftovers. The mobile snout is used for rooting and digging for food. They have cloven hooves with 2 main toes on each foot. Body temperature is about 38–39 °C. Because pigs have few sweat glands, they wallow in mud to cool down. Typical running speed can reach 20–25 km/hr. A sow’s gestation lasts about 115 days. A litter often has 6–12 piglets. Pigs are social and intelligent and can learn simple tasks. They communicate with grunts, oinks, and squeals. Many pigs live about 15–20 years with good care.
