🐷 Newborn piglets learn to run to their mothers’ voices, and can recognize their own names by the time they’re 2 weeks old.

🐷 Adult pigs can run at speeds of up to 11mph, or in other words, they can run a seven-minute mile

🐷 A pig's squeal can be as loud as 115 decibels – that’s 3 decibels higher than the sound of a supersonic airliner

🐷 Pigs communicate constantly with each other, and more than 20 different vocalizations have been identified

🐷 Because pigs are so genetically similar to humans, stem cells from pigs are being used by scientists to research cures for human diseases

🐷 Piglets weigh about 2.5 pounds (1.1 kilograms) at birth, and usually double their weight in one week. Fully grown, pigs can grow to between 300 and 700 pounds

🐷 Pigs are among the smartest of all domesticated animals and are even smarter than dogs.
