According to Chinese astrology, the Yin and Yang is broken down into the five elements: metal, water, wood, fire and earth. Twelve animals combined with five elements make up for the 60-year cycle in the Chinese zodiac. The past 12 years have been the cycle of fire. Here are a couple of other piggy facts to consider while pondering your upcoming year.
• On average, pigs live for about 15 years.
• Scientists believe that pigs are one of the most intelligent animals, ranking close behind apes and dolphins.
• Pigs are distant relatives of the hippopotamus family.
• Wild or domestic pigs can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
• There are approximately 840 million hogs on farms throughout the world.
• China has long had the world's largest population of domestic pigs.
• The average sow gives birth to 8 to 12 piglets at a time.
• Pigs don't need to be rounded up. A good yell like “sooey” will bring them running.
• A pig's squeal can reach up to 115 decibels, 3 decibels higher than the sound of a supersonic Concorde.
• An average pig eats two kilograms of feed each day, and a ton of food every year.
