They are not considered a separate species but rather a smaller version of the traditional farm pig. Pot belly pigs are popular as pets due to their small size, social nature, and intelligence.
Regular pigs.
Pot belly pigs are not typically raised for consumption in the same way as other pig breeds. However, it is technically possible to eat pot belly pigs as they are the same species as domestic pigs. It is important to note that pot belly pigs are often kept as pets, so consuming them may be illegal or socially unacceptable in many places.
Pot belly pigs are the only mammals that do not have sweat glands. They use mud and water to cool themselves off.
Potbellied pigs are named for their distinctive, rounded bellies that give them a pot-bellied appearance. This feature is a result of their unique body structure and fat distribution, which is particularly pronounced in mature pigs. Originally bred in Vietnam, these pigs were kept for their small size and docile temperament, making them popular as pets in various parts of the world. The term "pot belly" effectively captures the characteristic look that distinguishes them from other pig breeds.
