Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Pigs do not sweat, they have no sweat glands and cool themselves by rolling in mud. The mud also acts as a sunblock preventing sunburn.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Every pig has a unique personality. Pigs are very intelligent. This combination makes them a charming but challenging house pet.
