5 Interesting Facts About Pigs!

Pigs are among the most intelligent animals on Earth - they consistently outperform dogs on cognitive tests, can learn their names within weeks of birth, and have been taught to play video games using a joystick.
They don't actually sweat - pigs have very few sweat glands and roll in mud to cool down and protect their skin from the sun. The mud also acts as an insect repellent.
A pig's snout is a remarkable sensory organ - it contains more touch receptors than human fingertips and can detect scents buried 25cm underground, which is why they're used to find truffles.
Pigs dream - they experience REM sleep and have been observed twitching, making sounds and moving their eyes rapidly during deep sleep phases, suggesting active dream states.
Domesticated pigs are descended from the wild boar and were first tamed in China around 9,000 years ago - making them one of the earliest domesticated animals alongside dogs and goats.
