Pig Characteristic

Is a pig bird/reptile/mammal?

What are the characteristics of a mammal?

Mammals are animals such as humans, dogs, lions, and whales. In general, female mammals give birth to babies rather than laying eggs, and feed their young babies with milk. Such as whale , walrus, dolphin ,they are all sea animals.

k: Mammals means mother animals give birth to their babies rather than laying eggs. And babies drink milk from their mothers.

A mammal is a warm blooded animal that is born alive, with fur, and drinks its mother’s milk. Mammals breathe air with their lungs.

p: So does the pig/rabbit/dog/cat/cow/horse.

p: pigs are warm blooded, have fur/hair, and the mothers feed their own milk to the piglets. Piglets can get the milk from their mother pig’s teat/udder.

Different parts of pig

Pigs have four legs with feet called hooves.

They have small eyes, small curly tails, and short flat snouts.

A pig's snout is an important tool for finding food on the ground and sensing the world around them.

The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food, and is a very acute sense organ.

Pigs have an excellent sense of smell.

The pig's forehead is very high, blocking its view, so the pig can only look forward.

The neck of the pig is straight and thick so it can't look up.

Scientists have done experiments by putting food on the heads of starving pigs. Pigs can smell the food and then desperately look for it on the ground, but they never look up at the food on their head.

Breeds of pig

In the Mud

Pigs like to run into the mud because pigs don't have sweat glands and need to roll in the mud to lower their body temperature.

You are a piglet and I am a mommy pig.

It's very hot today. Would you like to wallow (or roll) in the mud?

We are not wallowing in the mud for fun. What are the reasons?

1. To cool off! Pigs can't sweat but a nice romp in the mud will help them feel better on hot days.

2. To protect their skin from sunburn(suntan lotion)

3. To protect their skin from insect bites.

Comparing a Wild Boar and a Pig

野猪和家猪的比较

Did you know that all wild boars are pigs, but not all pigs are wild boars? Yes, that has a little confusing ring, but it only means that the wild boar is a species of pig.

The two are not the same animals. Some people would assume that wild boars are just pigs that have evolved in the wild, while pigs are domesticated animals cultivated for livestock.

However, pigs and wild boars are two different animals with their own set of unique characteristics.

So, what are the differences between these two mammals? This article will explore the wild boar characteristics vs. pig from their size down to their habitat and diet.

1.Wild Boar vs Pig: Size and Weight

Size and weight are the most apparent differences between a pig and a wild boar.

Domesticated pigs are significantly larger and heavier than wild boars, but there is an explanation for that.

Since domestic pigs are cultivated as livestock, they are well-fed and thoroughly cared for. Pigs have a wide range of size dimensions depending on their use. Some can be tiny pigs, while some are huge, like the Yorkshire pig. Growing 2 to 4 ft, wild boars can sometimes weigh as much as 250 lbs.

However, since they forage and seek their food in the wild, they often do not grow as big as domesticated pigs. Yet, the largest wild boar species, the giant forest hog, can grow up to 6.6 ft, while the heaviest wild boar is a Eurasian wild pig which can weigh up to 710 lbs.

2.Wild Boar vs Pig: Color

One of the most significant and noticeable differences between a wild boar and a pig is their color.

Apart from the fact that they live in the wild, wild boars can easily be distinguished from a pig because they typically have darker skin.

They commonly sport black, brown, dark gray, or reddish colors based on their region. For instance, wild boars hailing from Western Europe usually have a brown hue, while wild boars hailing from the eastern areas of the continent are typically black.

Pigs also vary in color depending on the species. Some sport yellowish or reddish-brown hues.

Most pigs that we know are pinkish, and that is how we easily differentiate a wild boar from a pig.

Pink pigs usually have several white hairs, exposing the pinkish hue of their skins.

Compared to pigs, wild boars have darker skin.

3.Wild Boar vs Pig: Habitat

Wild boars, as their name suggests, are typically found in the wild –forests, grasslands, and tropical jungles.

Because wild boars search for their plant-based food, they often inhabit areas with healthy vegetation.

On the other hand, pigs are cultivated within pig barns and outdoor yards.

While they have easier access to healthy food suitable for their bodies and health, they have limited areas to roam compared to wild boars.

4.Wild Boar vs. Pig: Diet

Wild boars are omnivores, mostly eating plant materials like nuts, fruits, and tubers.

However, their domesticated counterparts feed on well-mixed nutrients that may contain corn, wheat, and other vegetable-based food and supplements to help them grow bigger and heavier.

Domesticated pigs have become good sources of meat worldwide, used in a variety of ways like hams, bacon, and all sorts of pork.

Wild boars are edible, but most people note the remarkable differences, including the presence of nutty and sweet flavor in a wild boar’s meat due to their special diet.

Wild boars eat plant material like nuts and fruits, while pigs eat wheat and other vegetable-based food.

5.Wild Boar vs Pig: Teeth

One thing that is very noticeable between pigs and wild boars is their set of teeth.

Although they share identical dentition or dental structures, the wild boar’s teeth are significantly larger than domesticated pigs.

One indication that you are facing a wild boar rather than an ordinary pig is their lower canines protruding too long from their bottom jaws. Some species of wild boars, like the giant forest hog, have lower canines that are highly visible from their mouth. These canines are similar to tusks. Pigs usually do not have canines this long, and as domesticated animals, theirs are usually trimmed.

What do pigs eat?

Pigs are omnivorous animals, which means that they can eat both plants and meat.

In the wild, pigs will eat a variety of things, including nuts, seeds, fruits, and mushrooms. Wild pigs also eat worms, insects, eggs, and small mammals, which provide suitable amounts of protein.

However, in captivity (or on a farm), pigs are typically fed a diet of grains and other agricultural products.

Pigs in the wild eat differently than pigs on the farm (based on what is available to them).

But the one thing they have in common is that they are omnivorous (feeding on plants and animals) and will eat almost anything!

Some items that pigs feed on include: worms, small animals (such as snakes), snails, roots, grubs, eggs, slop, corn, soybeans, oats, wheat, sorghum.

Discuss the different foods pigs eat

Cut/paste the foods to the wheel below. Attach two wheels together with a brass fastener.

Domestic: oats, corn, slop

Wild: worms, small snakes, eggs

Would you like to be a domestic pig or a wild pig? Let's turn the wheel.

If you get the item that you like to eat, you can eat it.

The Pigsty

Pigs like to keep clean. Pigs may be the most clean domesticated animals.

A study found that pigs would leave a specific area for a toilet in their living areas, eating and sleeping in another area.

They divide their pigsty into four areas.

We can pretend the window sill is the pigsty. Let’s divide it into 4 areas.

one area to feed in，

the second area to sleep in，

The third area to play,

and a forth area is designated (as far from their bed as possible) for waste/pooping.

Pig Farmer

Farmers are the people who raise animals and crops on a farm.

Different farmers raise different kinds of animals and crops.

Some farmers raise only pigs (this type of farmer is called a pork producer).

I am a pork producer. My main job is to make sure the pigs are healthy and well fed.

I feed the pigs, keep their environments clean, and check on the pigs often to make sure they are well/healthy.

I also keep me informed (learning new things) about how to care for pigs by reading books and even taking classes.

The pork cut range

【Jowl】The lower part of pig's cheek.

【Butt】Pork butt, does not come from anywhere near the butt or behind of the pig. Butt is a cut of meat from the shoulder of the pig.

【Picnic】A cut of pork from the shoulder area of the pig.

【Loin】 Pork loin is a cut of meat from a pig, created from the tissue along the top of rib cage.

【Back ribs】 A cut of pork popular in Western and Asian cuisines. The ribcage of a domestic pig, meat and bones together.

【Belly/bacon】 Bacon from the pork belly, with streaks of meat and fat.

【Ham】 Meat from the upper part of a pig's leg.

The three little pigs sequence 三只小猪故事排序

Cut out the pictures and sentences. Put them in orders as they happened in the story.

In a small forest lives three pigs.

They are brothers.

“It is getting cold,” says the first pig.

“We need houses,” says the third pig.

“You are right,” says the second pig.

“What will you make your house out of?” asks the third pig.

The first pig says, “I will make it out of straw because it is light.”

The first pig is very lazy.

The second pig says, “I will make it out of wood because it is easy to find.”

The second pig is also a little lazy.

What will you make your house out of brother?

“I will make my house out of stone,” says the third pig.

“Stone!” exclaims the first pig, “but that’s so heavy!”

“Stone!” exclaims the second pig, “but that’s so hard to find!”

“Stone is the strongest/stablest, so I will make my house out of it,” replies the third pig.

After one day, the first pig finishes his house and starts to play.

After five days, the second pig finishes his house and plays with the first pig.

After twenty days, the third pig finishes his house and joins his brothers.

One day, the Big Bad Wolf comes to the small forest.

He is very scary and very hungry.

The pigs are outside playing when they see the Big Bad Wolf.

They quickly run inside their houses.

Inside they hide and wait.

First, the Big Bad Wolf comes up to the first house made of straw.

“Little pig, little pig, let me in,” yells the wolf.

“No, no, no, not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin,” replies the first pig.

“Then, I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down!”

The wolf blows and blows and blows.

The house of straw falls.

The wolf sees the first pig and tries to eat him.

But he is too slow.

The first pig runs and hides in his brother’s house.

Next, the Big Bad Wolf comes up to the second house made of wood.

“Little pigs, little pigs, let me in,” yells the wolf.

“No, no, no, not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin,” replies the first and second pig.

“Then, I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down!”

The wolf blows and blows and blows.

The house of wood falls.

The wolf sees the first and second pig and tries to eat them.

But he is too slow.

The first and second pig run and hide in their brother’s house.

Finally, the Big Bad Wolf comes up to the third house made of stone.

“Little pigs, little pigs, let me in,” yells the wolf.

“No, no, no, not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin,” replies the first, second, and third pig.

“Then, I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down!”

The wolf huffs and puffs and huffs some more.

But the house does not fall down.

The wolf is so tired that he falls asleep.

The three pigs come out of the house.

They grab the wolf and throw him into the river.

The wolf floats away, and they never see him again.

“Thank you so much brother,” says the first and second pig.

“Your house of stone is the strongest.”

“Will you help us build our own?” they ask.
