In this unique and particularly interesting essay I will show you the wild nature. . . pig. Yes, I said pig; the pig is actually a very cute animal. At least once you get past the unique sex life and let's just say unusual bodies. Not to mention the disturbing food diets! They have a huge impact on all of us and their environment, so let's learn something about them, shall we? I thought feral pigs were just that, normal pigs going around the world on their own, but I was wrong, they are actually very different! Did you know that the binomial nomenclature or scientific name of the wild pig is Sus Scrofa and that they are considered mammals and are therefore part of the Mammalia family. Their hair color varies from brownish-red to black and they are 3.6-4.9 feet long. While not as tall as a bear, they stand 3 feet tall in adulthood and can weigh up to 400 pounds. They usually live 1-2 years but can live up to 9-10 years. They are also thinner than their domesticated cousins ​​and have much coarser hair that sometimes stands up and is twisted menacingly to appear larger. The long spear-shaped fangs that protrude from their mouths are actually teeth that are found on the top of their mouths, these fangs curve like a hook to protrude from the mouth at an actual angle. Females are almost always smaller than their male counterparts, and as males and females age this difference becomes more substantial and more visible. At birth, piglets have a yellowish stripe along their sides which disappears after 4 weeks. Depending on their environment they may also have different colored spots which allow the pigs to blend in with their environment. Pigs' teeth are not always first... in the middle of the paper... a few minutes later. However, mating depends on the climate and females can avoid breeding if they do not have the nutrients to keep themselves and their piglets alive throughout the year. Estrus cycles for sows last approximately 21-23 days each time they enter estrus and can usually have up to 2 liters per year. Newborn piglets are born weighing 0.4-0.8 kg. They are then weaned at 8-12 weeks. They continue to grow until the age of 5-6 years. Interesting enough males have more testosterone during the winter months, and shorter days equate to a higher concentration of sex hormones. I think it's all very beautiful, what do you think? Well, I think that concludes the essay. . . What do you think about pigs now? Do they look cute to you? Do they seem safe animals? Well, think what you want, I don't want to meet one in a dark alley!
