Can a pig drown

Answer 1

It used to be believed that pigs could not swim without cutting their own throat with their trotters. This was a myth, pigs can swim, there is even such a thing as the pig Olympics which was held in Moscow, Russia, one of the events being swimming!

However, like all living things, if a pig is unable to swim for reasons such as injury/ ill health/exhaustion or many other reasons, then they will drown.

Answer 2

Sheep have wool and hooves. Wool absorbs water and makes sheep more dense and heavy, making them more likely to sink. Hooves lack the shape to make for efficient swimming appendages. Horses can sometimes swim because of the sheer size of their muscles and the force they can exert. Sheep are weaker and more stubby.

So, no, they can't swim. At least, not very well, and not for very long.

Answer 3

Sheep have some buoyancy until their wool becomes water-logged and they will sink. The only other time that sheep will definitely float on water is once they have drowned and the decomposing bacteria start to produce gas in the carcase.

Answer 4

Yes, pigs can drown if they are unable to get out of water or if they are left in water for an extended period of time. Pigs can swim, but they are not well adapted for long periods in water.

Answer 5

Of course not. Pigs are mammals and have lungs. Though if it is Super Pig or maybe Spider Pig . . .

Answer 6

yes, they will drown. The wool soaks up the water and will make them sheep drown.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
