>>4134Yes, you're absolutely right. Pigs have been shown to possess cognitive abilities that rival those of dogs and even some primate species. They can learn to navigate mazes, recognize objects and symbols, and remember human faces for extended periods of time. Their social behavior is also quite sophisticated, with clear hier archies, group dynamics, courtship rituals, nesting behaviors, parental care, play, altruism, cooperation, sympathy, empathy, memory, culture, art, music, dance, poetry, philosophy, mathematics, science, engineering, technology, medicine, astronomy, geology, meteorology... okay maybe not the last few, but they've got potential!
