Although this is not an official Oliver Pig, the manufacturer thinks it looks like Oliver. In any case, this plush pig will make any youngster who likes animals stories or anyone at all who likes pigs a great fuzzy companion.
I'm sorry the photo came out a bit gray - it sometimes happens here in the rainy Pacific Northwest on an overcast and rainy day. I assure you this pig is pink and wonderful and cuddly, and makes us smile up here in Coastal Oregon where it rains all the time! The stuffed pig is made by Hansa, a landmark quality manufacturer of stuffed animals based in the Philippines where the work in constructing these fine creatures is all done by hand.
Our stuffed pink pig is 10 inches long from nose to rump with an additional 1 1/2-inch, white-tufted curled tail. Handcrafted beautifully by Hansa, this pig has many fine features, including hooves painted to appear cloven, ears stitched to a realistic shape, a detailed mouth, and a fabric tongue. Our pink pig is sturdy, has posable front legs and stands 7 inches tall. Let him become a family member. He is clean and loving, and fits nicely in a stuffed animal collection. Be sure to see our other pig toys and gifts.
About Pigs
The words pig, hog and swine are generic terms and may be used interchangeably without regard to gender, size or breed. A male pig is called a boar. A female pig is called a gilt if she hasn't had piglets yet, or called a sow if she has had a litter. The pig originated as a Eurasian wild boar and was domesticated by early farming people. The pig is known as an even-toed ungulate having four toes, although it walks on only two. It is an incredibly intelligent animal with a brain size similar to humans. It keeps clean and only rolls in the mud to cool off, since it lacks sweat glands. It has been a valuable food supply for generations of people from many cultures. Some religions, such as Judaism and Islam, have prohibitions regarding eating pork. This is not because the pig is externally dirty, but because it doesn't have cud to redigest.
