Pig

Pigs are omnivorous domesticated hoofed mammals with sparse bristly hair and a flat snout for rooting in the soil, kept for its meat. Juvenile pigs are known as piglets. Pigs are highly social and intelligent animals.
A typical pig has a large head with a long snout that is strengthened by a special prenasal bone and by a disk of cartilage at the tip. The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food and is a very acute sense organ. There are four hoofed toes on each foot, with the two larger central toes bearing most of the weight, but the outer two also being used in soft ground.
With around 1 billion individuals alive at any time, the domestic pig is one of the most numerous large mammals on Mondum.
The ancestor of the domestic pig is the wild boar, which is one of the most numerous and widespread large mammals. Its many subspecies are native to all but the harshest climates of continental Terra Caelum and its islands and Azura as well, to as far north as Grescha.
