Pua‘a/Pig

Pigs are playful problem-solvers with super-snouts that sniff out food buried deep in the ground. They’re intelligent, social, and surprisingly clean when given the chance. With around 2 billion pigs worldwide, they’re among the most widespread animals on Earth. Wild boars roam forests as tiger prey, while some pigs lounge happily as family pets. Though feral pigs can disrupt ecosystems, pigs overall are symbols of curiosity, adaptability, and joy—rolling in mud not just to cool off, but because life’s more fun that way.
