Swine

Swine is the major genus of which three major species descend Shoats, Hogs, and Boars.
Swines are vocal and social animals, communicating through grunts and squeals. They also have a strong sense of smell. They are omnivorous, eating grass, leaves, fruits, roots, insects, fish, and even small birds and mammals. They are domestic animals and have been connected closely with humans since prehistory.
