There is an organ, known as the caecum (or cecum), that is attched to the large intestine. It is important in an herbivores digestive system, as it helps break down raw plants. As herbivores, pigs are benefitted by this organs presence. In humans, however, the caecum has become a vestigial organ (the appendix).
The pig's large intestine is located in the same place yours it located. This one reason that fetal pigs are used in dissection. The large intestine is part of the lower digestive tract. It comes after the small intestine and it acts to remove water and to hold on to your feces until you can find that bathroom.
the blue whale has an intestine of roughly 3 miles depending on the size of the whale
A pig has 63,283,677,008,126,448,957,690,033,275,756,412,384,858,205,285,207,103,206,589,103,454,565,747,297,000,191,667,113,999,088,436,634,888,006,123,456,436,104,485,492,395,107,202,520,602,206 stomachs.
The small intestine functions in digestion, and the large intestine functions in reabsorbing water and ions.
I think the major thing (internally anyways) would be that pigs have a coiled large intestine and humans have an organized one, differentiated into three parts.
its large intestine allows it to move faster

Fetal pigs are most often used in dissection classes because aspects of their biology closely resembles ours. The large intestine of a fetal pig is typically 1-3 feet in length.
The alimentary canal of fetal pigs consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), large intestine (cecum, colon, rectum), and anus. These structures play a role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, with some modifications present in fetal pigs compared to adult pigs for fetal development and nutrient absorption during early stages of life.
Yes, chickens have a relatively short and simple digestive system compared to mammals. They do have a large intestine, but it is not as developed as in mammals and plays a smaller role in their digestion. The ceca are two blind pouches located at the junction of the small and large intestines where fermentation takes place.
Pigs can sometimes eat human food, guinea pigs can eat more human foods than pigs.
