'''Pigs''' are [[omnivore|omnivorous]] [[odd-toed ungulates]] originally native to Eurasia. Pigs have long snouts with flattened ends, curly tails, and are typically pink in color. Feral pigs, however, rapidly revert to the dark and bristly form of the [[wild boar]], from which domestic pigs are derived.
