Unlike other animals, pigs will continue to grow until they die. Boars are known to be bigger than sows, older boars can reach up to 500 lbs or more while sows can reach 300 lbs or more depending on breeding, longevity, and feed conversion rates of the individual animal.
Wild pigs are omnivorous animals and therefore they eat both plants as well as animals. Plants are the main diet for the wild pigs, with palmetto and acorn being their most preferred. The wild pig also eats small vertebrates and invertebrates that it can find.
Wild pigs eat just about anything that they can find, including nuts, roots, garbage, insects, berries, small reptiles, grass, carrion and tubers.

Surprisingly, pigs aren't that dirty. They don't usually roll in mud like some say. They are a lot like dogs. they like to stay clean, and root around. So pretty much, they dirtiest part on a pig would probably be his nose. Pigs are only animals, i think they will eat what they are given and stay where they are reared. Humans are dirty.....if pigs are given good food instead of left-overs and reared in clean places, they will never be called "DIRTY". MR. boobs
