Fun illustrated guide to pigs. Basically everything you ever would want to know about many of them. Different breeds, caring for them, what they eat, behavior, breakdown of the food produced from them, world facts, superstitions, and other fun stuff. Interesting and full of informative illustrations. Great little read.

Every bit as good as his Field Guide to Cows was. Maybe it's even better, because this book contains not only domestic varieties of pig but also wild species, including one weird Indonesian one with wrinkly gray elephant skin and front bottom teeth that grow to pierce their lower lip and stick up like a second pair of tusks. WIN again, Mr. Pukite.
