sus scrofa domesticus
Also known as large white pig, their skin is pink but their hair is white. Their average life span is about 6 to 10 years and they usually weigh between 600 to 900 pounds but can get up to 1,000 pounds or more. They also grow several pounds a day. Since pigs sweat a lot, they roll in the mud so they could be cooled down. They say that pigs are intelligent than dogs are. There are also different types of pigs like a duroc,hampshire,mulefoot,tamworth,etc. They do sexual reproduction (crossbreeding).
Pigs are definitely omnivores. Sometimes(or all the time)they kill other animals and eat them so they need their own space. Sometimes even carnivores eat them but humans are actually the only one who hunts them down and kills them.
