What are piglets?

Piglets are tiny baby pigs, just like how you’re a tiny baby person.

Imagine you have a little brother or sister who is still learning to walk, that’s kind of what piglets are like. They’re born very small and then grow bigger over time, just like you do when you eat your vegetables and go to bed.

When piglets are first born, they're about the size of a shoe. They wobble around on their little legs, and they love to suckle from their mom’s belly, it's like how you might drink from a bottle or eat cereal for breakfast.

As days go by, piglets get bigger and stronger. Soon, they’re running around like playful dogs, maybe even nudging each other while playing in the dirt, just like kids do on the playground.

If you ever see a pig in the park or at the farm, it might have been a piglet once, small, cute, and full of energy!
