world.

Heroic Actions: Once there was a pig named

Bacon. He saved a boy from drowning. A pig

named Priscilla did too.

5

Family: Pigs develop close relationships with

their mates and members of their tribe. They

like to cuddle with each other when they sleep.

Pigs can come in many sizes. After a baby piglet is born, it eats

enough to double it's weight in one week. Pigs roll in mud

because they don't have sweat glands so they use the mud to

cool them off. Pigs can have up to 12 piglets per litter.

In nature, pigs live in social groups. Pigs who know each

other engage in certain behaviors, much like humans

shake hands or hug. A pig may greet a friend by making

nose-to-nose contact or by grooming the other.

When people say the expression, "When pigs

fly, " they are serious. They mean that it is not

very likely to happen. Or is it...?
