Domestic pig — size comparison — facts and sources

The domestic pig descends from wild boar, but breeding has produced very different breeds, varying in structure and colour. Pigs are omnivorous, using a mobile snout to investigate and root through the ground for food.

Pigs use smell, touch and calls. They are social animals that rest and feed near others. They establish social relationships within the group and recognise familiar companions.
