NATIONAL PIG DAY

MARCH 1
NATIONAL PIG DAY
Today honors the domesticated pig. Cute and cuddly (at least the little ones), pigs are omnivores (eating both plants and animals). There are over 2 billion pigs in the world (domesticated and wild)! Little known facts about pigs: they have a keen sense of smell, they use their snouts for finding food in the ground and sensing the world around them, and they are quite intelligent beings. Celebrate this dilly day by visiting them at your local zoo, drawing a picture of a cute little piglet, and/or learning more about them today!
