The common name for the domesticated pig is "hog" or "swine." Pigs are known for their intelligence, social behaviors, and adaptability. They are raised worldwide for various products, including meat (pork), leather, and even some pharmaceuticals. Domesticated pigs are often kept on farms in various breeds, with some bred for their size or meat quality, while others may be kept as pets or for show. Pigs play a significant role in agriculture and the economy, and their unique social structure makes them interesting animals to observe. Their ability to root around in the ground is also beneficial to soil health and ecosystem balance.
