## More Than Just Bacon
* Introduction to porcine intelligence and anatomy.

## Taxonomy 101
* Species: *Sus scrofa domesticus*.
* Family: Suidae (Even-toed ungulates).
* Relatives include warthogs and wild boars.

## The Ultimate Sensory Tool: The Snout
* Snouts are made of bone-reinforced cartilage.
* Highly tactile and strong enough to plow earth.

## The 3-3-3 Rule: Pig Gestation
* Gestation lasts 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days (approx. 114 days).
* Comparison: Dogs (~63 days), Humans (~280 days).

## Myth Buster: Why the Mud?
* Pigs have very few sweat glands; they don't 'sweat like a pig'.
* Mud is used for thermoregulation and sun protection.

## Digestive System: True Omnivores
* Non-ruminants with a simple stomach similar to humans.
* Efficiently digest plants, roots, fungi, and proteins.

## Cognitive Capabilities
* Key traits: Long-term memory, joystick/video game usage, mirror self-recognition, and empathy.

## Smarty Pants: Comparative Intelligence
* Cognitive ability comparable to a 3-year-old human child.
* Often outperform dogs in problem-solving methodology.

## Social & Sentient
* Live in matriarchal units called 'sounders'.
* Communicate with over 20 distinct vocalizations.

## The Final Oink
* Summary of pigs as clean, intelligent, and biologically similar to humans.
