Pigs have both metatarsals and metacarpals in their skeleton. Tarsals are located on the hind legs and carpals on the front legs. So, when they walk, they walk on both metatarsals and metacarpals.

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.
