Some Piggy Art & Trivia

These collaged post cards were made for an online mail art group swap. 



I could think of a a few pig quotes which I may not get exactly correct, i.e.

"When pigs can fly..."  and


"Trying to teach a pig to sing is an exercise in futility.  You not only waste your time, you annoy the pig."




Some fun facts:  Piglets will respond to their names 20 days after birth.

Also, the screams of pigs can drive elephants to panic, which was a useful strategy in disrupting Hannibal's battle tactics.  (Check your history books...)

Pigs are quite interested in staying clean, but lacking proper showering facilities, must roll in the mud to keep cool in hot weather.

They are some of the smartest animals on the planet.

And they have four toes on each foot but only use two to stand on.
