There are many differences. The limbs of a pig are of the same circumference on all four legs. The top portion of each of the four legs of the pig are in close to the body because the pig stands on all fours. Pigs' hocks are our heels, which we use as a part of our foot to balance ourselves on two feet. The pig's hocks, however are not on the ground like us but acts as a part of the pig's leg. Pigs also have hooves and dewclaws where we have dextrous fingers and toes. Our legs are more muscular, much longer and broader all the way down to the foot than a pig's is. There is no meat on a pig's back legs past the hocks. Also, the bone in the lower portion of our arms and legs have two bones allowing us to twist our feet and hand to 180 degrees. A pig's lower leg bones are fused, allowing no twisting movement of their legs.
