Film Transcript

Hi, my name is Tristan. I'll be teaching you about pigs today at Mount Norman Farm. Have you ever been told that you are as messy as a pig? Well, pigs are actually very clean animals. Have you ever said, I'm sweating like a pig? Well, pigs can't sweat. Pigs moan in the mud and water tickles down and stops them from getting sunburned. Pigs are the fifth most intelligent animal in the world. They love body rubs and love playing with toys. They sleep and they dream. Pigs have a great memory and can even play video games. Pigs have poor sight but a great sense of smell. Pigs live for 15 to 20 years. Pigs can swim and they love to swim. There are too many pigs on earth.
