potbellied pigs

Chubby pet hogs

Potbellied pigs are a small breed of domestic pig, originally from Vietnam, kept as pets rather than livestock.

They have a characteristic rounded belly that hangs low, short legs, and a swayed back.

Despite being called "miniature," adults typically weigh 100–200 pounds: Their potbellied pig has the run of the house.
