Five piglets with their mother in Delhi. Cute piglets are peacefully sleeping in their habitat and mother pig stands in a distance, feeding herself. Because of their relative lack of sweat glands, pigs often control their body temperature using behavioural thermoregulation. Wallowing which often consists of coating the body with mud is a behaviour frequently exhibited by pigs. Pigs root to make wallows that sometimes contains sticky mud with which the pigs cover their body. Pigs do not submerge completely under the mud but vary the depth and duration of wallowing depending on environmental conditions.

The domestic pig typically has a large head with a long snout which is strengthened by a special prenasal bone and a disk of cartilage at the tip. The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food and is a very acute sense organ.

A pig is any of the animals in the genus Sus, within the even toed ungulate family Suidae. Pigs include the domestic pig and its ancestor, the common Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) along with other species; related creatures outside the genus include the peccary, the babirusa, and the warthog. Pigs, like all suids are native to the Eurasian and African continents. Juvenile pigs are known as piglets.
