Cats do this sometimes, and so do dogs–run like crazy up and down your hallway, for no apparent reason other than to amuse themselves. But how many households can feature a pig racing back and forth. The more you watch, the more you wonder what is going on. I guess you’d have to ask the little pig… if he’ll stand still long enough to hear your question.
You can have zoomies outdoors; in fact, you can have a dust-bath at the same time–can’t do that indoors!
Watch this little pig go. Dare I say “he’s hamming it up” for the camera?
A lot of people don’t know this, but pigs are among the most intelligent animals and can adapt to all sorts of unusual situations. Here’s a pig who’s gotten used to life with cats: he simply refuses to live a pig’s lifestyle. A wise choice, I think.
Sometimes you’ve got to make your own fun. Animals know this: it’s why they invented zoomies.
This piglet has a black belt in zoomies. If he’s still into it as a 500-lb. hog, he’s going to need a bigger playground.
Science has shown clear evidence that piglets can and do perform zoomies–even if some of them are really just chasing the chickens. As for adult pigs… The prospect of a 500-pound hog racing about with the zoomies is a daunting one. Anything that gets in the way is history.
We were set to show you a full-grown wild boar with the zoomies, but our camera man ran away. The mini-pig in this video was a last-minute substitution. Our scientific study of zoomies has hit a snag–couldn’t find any sloth zoomie videos.
