Pigs

Pigs are hooved omnivorous mammals characterized by a large head with a long snout and a squiggly tail. Female pigs are referred to as sows while baby pigs are called piglets. Regardless of age or gender, pigs are better known for their consumptive value to humans, particularly in the form of bacon, ham, pickled pigs' feet, bologna, hot dogs and, if one must... spam (the true ingredients of which are a mystery to all).

In the series one episode of the 2005 revival of the science fiction television series Doctor Who entitled "Aliens of London", members of the alien Slitheen family staged a faux U.F.O. crash landing in the heart of London. Members of the Unified Intelligence Taskforce recovered a body from the wreckage and took it to the (referred to as Albion Hospital). This incident sparked the interest of the Ninth Doctor, who went to the hospital to analyze the staff's findings. He learned that the Slitheen had conducted genetic enhancements on a regular Earth pig to make it look like an alien.
