A pig is any even-toed hoofed MAMMAL of the
family Suidae. They are omnivorous, and have
simple, non-ruminating stomachs and thick
hides. The Middle Eastern wild boar Sus
scrofa is the ancestor of domesticated
breeds, it is 1½m (4½ft) long and 1m (3ft)
high, with formidable tusks, but not
naturally aggressive.
