You won’t be boar-ed (get it?!)

These pig pictures prove that pigs are some of the cutest animals around. With their adorable curly tails, soft noses, and floppy ears, they’re positively irresistible and definitely as adorable as these cute farm animals. While pigs are often raised as farm animals, some people have pigs as pets, and take them on leashed walks just like dogs! Pigs have complex social lives and excellent memories, and studies show they are the smartest of all domestic animals (which is why it’s so important to buy Animal Welfare Approved or humanely-raised pork products at the supermarket). Some pigs have squishy faces while others have curly coats (like these cute alpacas). Their intelligence and social natures mean that they love to be involved in all the goings-on around them; these pigs definitely make for some funny animal pictures. If you like cute pig pictures, you’ll be in hog heaven.

As befits such an intelligent animal, newborn piglets learn to trot after only eight hours of life. This guy is taking a break by pretending to be a dandelion. He’d fit in well with these weird animals.

Scratch that itch

Pigs don’t have fur or hair, they have bristles. They are not too rough on your hands, however, which is great because all piggies love a nice scratch! Belly rub, chin rub, or back rub—they’ll take it all with a smile worthy of these cute pig pictures. These funny animal memes will crack you up.

The phrase “sweating like a pig” is actually a misnomer, as pigs can’t sweat! Because they are at risk of overheating in hot weather, they need mud to wallow in to cool themselves down. The mud also coats their delicate skin and protects them from the sun.

Big and Little

This photo of a sweet mom and baby is one of the best pig pictures. Even though they are different colors, their markings seem to match pretty well: colored heads and rumps, with cute spots on their backs too.

So then I said, no, you live in a pigsty! Many people are surprised to learn that pigs are actually very clean; when raised with room to roam, they designate a community bathroom and keep everything organized.

Pig Beach

This is a real beach in the Bahamas which is known for its wild pigs. The pigs know it as a great place to take a refreshing dip (and maybe get a snack from a tourist!) Pigs are great swimmers and have even been known to dive for seafood. You might say there’s an animal whose name doesn’t cover its talents! These are the strangest animal names.

On the road again

A pig may not be able to fly, but he sure can run: Pigs can reach up to 11 mph at a full-on sprint. That’s a seven-minute mile! Cute pig pictures become cute pig action shots at these speeds.

Good day, human!

This absolute cutie is a Kunekune pig, a breed originally from New Zealand. They are known for their upturned noses, friendly personalities, and making great subjects for pig pictures. Kunekune means “fat and round” in New Zealand’s indigenous Māori language, but these animal names are just plain silly.

Swine by design

A piglet may pause from time to time to contemplate the meaning of life. This is known as pig-losophy. It also makes for a cute pig picture. Or maybe he’s thinking about the strangest animal found in each state?
