The domestic pig originally comes from the wild boars of Eurasia, the Mediterranean, and western Pacific islands.

These omnivores eat a massive variety of foods, including plants, roots, insects, and small animals. Females give birth to large litters, typically producing 8 to 12 babies at one time.

People often call these large, even-toed ungulates swine, hogs, or simply pigs. Experts consider the domestic pig a subspecies of the Eurasian boar.

Their head-plus-body-length ranges from 35 to 71 inches. Adult domestic pigs weigh between 110 and 770 pounds, though well-fed individuals often exceed this weight range.

The size and weight of hogs largely depend on the specific breed. Compared to other artiodactyls, a domestic pig head is long, pointed, and completely free of warts.

When people raise them as livestock, they farm them for the consumption of their flesh, called pork. A group of pigs goes by the name of a passel, a team, or a sounder. Humans also use their bones, hide, bristles in everyday products.

Pigs use their snout to dig into the soil to find food, making it an acute sense organ. They actively seek out the company of other pigs. They often huddle to maintain physical contact, although they do not naturally form large herds.
