Pigs

[pixi]

Well I am probably gonna get laffed out of Animals and Nature for this, but does anyone know what a group of pigs is called.  I have racked my brains and I have no idea the only thing I can come up with is a grunt of pigs or a snuffle of pigs and I'm sure thats not right thanks

Pears Ultimate Quiz Companion informs me that its a Drove of pigs pixi my dear!

[Quizmonster]

A sounder or a drift are also collective names for pigs.

hi hobbs and quizmonster, thanks for that (oh and i can see you both sniggering behind your screens)   IMHO a snuffle of pigs sounds much better though lol

[shaneystar]

And I'll just have my snuffles worth...
Herd, Trip or Litter of pigs
A Drift, Drove, Sounder(swine), Team, Passel (hogs)

In the southern U.S. they've also been called a wallow...

They're a truffle of pigs or a string of sausages, of pigs.
