Anyone here who’s had experience with pigs and can answer a couple of questions for me? (When I say pig, I mean farm-type hog that grows very large and is destined to end his days as someone’s dinner.)

1. What color eyes would a piglet likely have?

2. What is the fastest pace of a full-grown pig? Can they gallop, or is it more like a trot?

I only ask because I’m working on a story-coloring book for my grandniece that prominently features a pig.
