Pigs on free range farms live a more natural life than pigs on other sorts of piggeries.More pig farmers are starting to make their piggeries free range.
Body
Pet pigs mini have snouts, which help them find food by smell. They have an excellent sense of smell because they have poor eyesight. They have short tails that are often, but not always, curly. Pigs have hair, called bristles (say briss-uls).
Adult pigs have 44 teeth. Boars have a long front tooth on each side that is called a tusk. The tusks stick up outside their mouth. Farmers often cut off the tusks.
Pigs do not sweat, so they wallow in mud to cool their bodies. The mud also protects a pig from insect bites and from sunburn.
