Pig facts and tips for pig coloring pages

Pigs roll in mud for a good reason. They have very few sweat glands, so wet mud cools them down, and a dried layer protects their skin from sunburn and insects. They are also clever. Pigs learn their names, solve simple puzzles and remember where food is hidden. A pig's snout is strong enough to dig up soil and sensitive enough to smell food underground. Pigs don't see far, but their hearing is sharp. Piglets in a litter each pick a teat and usually return to the same one at every feeding.

Pink pigs aren't bubblegum pink. Try a pale peach or a light pink pencil, then add a slightly darker pink on the snout, inside the ears and along the belly. Mud is easy and fun: brown crayon in rough patches, with a few splashes flying off. For a spotted or belted pig, color the dark areas first so you don't smudge them into the light ones. Don't forget the tail. Many pigs have a curly one, though some hang straight.
