The terms “pig,” “hog,” and “swine” are general terms that do not specify gender, size, or breed. A male pig is specifically referred to as a boar, while a female pig is called a gilt if she hasn’t had piglets yet, and a sow if she has. Pigs have their origins in Eurasian Wild boars. These animals exhibit high levels of intelligence and are known for their quick learning abilities.
