Did you know

A pig's squeal can be as loud as 115 decibels – that's three decibels higher than the sound of a supersonic airliner. And when they're not squealing, they're talking. Pigs communicate constantly with each other, and more than 20 different vocalisations have been identified; from wooing a mate to saying 'I'm hungry.'
