There are many things that mark Piggy out as "different". He comes from a lower social class than the others and has been brought up by an auntie. He wears glasses, is fat, has asthma and seems to be a bit lazy. deFranca, S.D., Hadden, C.S., LeFebvre, M.J. and DuChemin, G. 2010. "Animal use at the Tibes Ceremonial Center".

Later, Tate break down in tears, confesses that he loves her and cannot understand why she has turned cold towards him. He plans to leave her alone if that's what she wants, but she comforts him. Constance speaks to Adelaide through Billie Dean and learns that she is glad she wasn't revived as a ghost because she now fears to be near Tate, after learning what he did.

Pigs are highly intelligent, social creatures. They are considered hypoallergenic, and are known to do quite well with people who have the usual animal allergies. Since these animals are known to have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years, they require a long-term commitment. Pigs have small lungs in relation to their body size, and are thus more susceptible than other domesticated animals to fatal bronchitis and pneumonia. [10] Pigs have a maximum life span of about 27years. [11] Genetics and genomics Biological experimentation on domestic guinea pigs has been carried out since the 17th century. The animals were used so frequently as model organisms in the 19th and 20th centuries that the epithet guinea pig came into use to describe a human test subject. Since that time, they have been largely replaced by other rodents, such as mice and rats. However, they are still used in research, primarily as models to study such human medical conditions as juvenile diabetes, tuberculosis, scurvy (like humans, they require dietary intake of vitamin C), and pregnancy complications. The Chinese refer to the animal as 豚鼠 ( túnshǔ, "pig mouse"), and sometimes as 荷蘭豬 ( hélánzhū, 'Netherlands pig') or 天竺鼠 ( tiānzhúshǔ, "Indian mouse"). The Japanese word for guinea pig is モルモット ( morumotto), which derives from the name of another mountain-dwelling rodent, the marmot. This is what the guinea pigs were called by Dutch traders, who first brought them to Nagasaki in 1843. The other, and less common, Japanese word for guinea pig, using kanji, is 天竺鼠 (てんじくねずみ or tenjiku-nezumi), which literally translates as "India rat".

Stands upright with arms straight to the side. Will move head left to right for a brief period of time when idle for long enough. By law you must register as a pig keeper with the Animal and Plant Health Agency ( APHA) to get a herd mark.

Cavia is Neo-Latin; it is derived from cabiai, the animal's name in the language of the Galibi tribes once native to French Guiana. [66] Cabiai may be an adaptation of the Portuguese çavia (now savia), which is itself derived from the Tupi word saujá, meaning rat. [67] Guinea pig The theme song that plays when someone is close to Piggy is similar to those of Little Brother, Mother, Sheepy, and Father. For Little Brother, the song is more acute. For Mother, the song is deeper and more distorted. For Father, the song is deeper but just as distorted. Most pigs have rather a bristled sparse hair covering on their skin, although woolly-coated breeds such as the Mangalitsa exist. [4]
