Flying Pigs

Flying Pigs (Baconus Upus)

IdentificationVery similar to the normal pig except for the foldable wings on either side of its body.

Habits

Flying around and rolling in mud.

Voice

Sounds very ‘oinking’ like but very articulate.

Habitat

Large forests where they can search for truffles or acorns.

Food

Truffles, acorns and a variety of other nuts.

Breeding

The Flying Pigs usually breed in the spring, high up in trees out of sight of any spectators.

Movements and Migrations

The Flying Pig is less hairy than its more normal cousins so prefers warm weather, but not too sunny. Thus the pig will fly south to a warmer climate for the winter.

Notes

The Flying Pig is a delicacy in some countries. With the extra exercise it does and the large wings they have a very tender pork flavour. Catching one can be quite a task so they are a sought after and expensive dish. So the price of some bacon really has gone up.
