Pigs, like all living things, have a specific anatomy, including an outside structure and internal workings.

Facts about a pig’s external anatomy:

1. Pigs have rounded, triangular ears.
2. Pigs have a snout.
3. Pigs have a curly tail.
4. Pigs have cloven hooves, which means their hoof is split into two parts.

Activity

• Examine the labeled picture of the pig.
• Recite aloud the labeled parts of the pig, including the ears, eyes, snout, legs, hooves, belly, back, and tail.
• Sketch your own pig.
• If you are able, draw the arrows and names of the body parts on your pig drawing.
