It’s a top choice for professionals and enthusiasts seeking a definitive, accessible resource on porcine biology and history. ## Description Not all animals are created equal. For a start, pigs have it, sheep don’t; that is, that special quality of intelligence, a sense of play, and a gregariousness that make these tragically misunderstood—yet no less endearing—creatures more like us than any other animal. Best-selling author Lyall Watson takes a delightful look at the occasionally amusing, often instructive, and completely admirable qualities of pigs in this indispensable book, not only for everyone interested in natural history but also for fans of Babe , lovers of Piglet, readers of Charlotte’s Web and Animal Farm , gourmands and truffle hunters, folklorists, and, of course, believers in meaningful interspecies communication. The book is filled with both realistic and wonderfully fanciful illustrations of pigs that illuminate everything you could possibly want to know about the extraordinary family of Suids, from their origins and evolution, rich social lives, and combat strategies, to their special relationship with truffles, popularity in art and literature, and increasing use today in cutting-edge medical transplant technology. Review: Informative, funny, fascinating, weirdly educational - This is just a darn good book. The author clearly knows more than practically anyone else alive about pigs, and has carefully explained everything about this remarkable animal in clear, readable prose. If you want a definitive and thorough overview of pigs, read this book. It is surprisingly interesting. Review: The beautiful pig - I was a pork producer for 40 years and always enjoyed my occupation and involvement with this wonderful animal. Since I puchased "The Whole Hog" I have enjoyed reading the history of the porcine species in great detail. I have many (Probably over 60) books on pig production but I feel this latest purchase to be one of my very best.
