What’s the biggest species of pig in the world?

Jessica Jones ZSL London Zoo, Keeper The biggest type of wild pig is the giant forest hog, which is found in woodland in Central and west Africa. These bristly black animals can grow to more than two metres long, more than a metre high and they can weigh up to 275 kilograms. Domestic pigs (those that are farmed) can be even larger because they are bred to be big. Do you love animals?
