Pigs walk on their long metapodials (which are the metacarpals or metatarsals). Metapodials connect the digits to the centers of the pig's hoofs.

The metatarsals, tarsals, carpals, and metacarpals are smaller bones that make up the hands and feet, and they are essential for fine motor control and balance. They are designed to provide mobility and flexibility rather than strength, which is emphasized in larger bones like the femur or humerus that are more weight-bearing. This size difference allows for greater precision in movements of the hands and feet.
