Do you know why you see pigs in the mud all the time? Well, pigs don’t sweat like we do, so they wallow around in the mud! Rolling around in the mud helps to keep pigs from overheating when it gets too hot outside. But just because pigs like to be in the mud, doesn’t mean they’re dirty animals. To the contrary, pigs tend to be very clean animals. Mud has other benefits for pigs such as it protects their skin from the sun, parasites and biting insects!
