How intelligent are pet pigs?
Forget Fido! Turns out your pot-bellied pig might be the next intellectual powerhouse. These adorable companions are surprisingly smart, ranking as high as fourth among the most intelligent animals on Earth. That puts them above some dog breeds! This impressive cognitive ability means they can be trained to perform tricks, recognize their names, and even follow commands. Imagine the fun of teaching your pet pig to play fetch (complete with a satisfying belly rub as a reward) or using a litter box – a dream for any house-proud owner! So, the next time you see a pig, remember, there might be more going on behind those curly tails than meets the eye.
