Considerably smaller than most farm pigs native to America and Europe, the pot-bellied pig is a domesticated species of pig that originates from Vietnam. Their name comes from their hanging belly, which is a result of their unusually long frame. Scientific Name: Sus scrofa domesticus Characteristics: Pigs are very smart, and are sometimes compared to apes and dolphins in terms of their cognizant abilities. Their natural intelligence is reflected in the bright eyes of this hand-painted and professionally sculpted figurine!

Pot-bellied pigs can come in many different colors based on their heritage, although they are often light gray or white with black sections.
