Pigs are a genus of even-toed ungulates within the family Suidae. The name hog most commonly refers to the domestic pig (Sus domestica) in everyday parlance, but technically encompasses several distinct species, including the wild boar. Swine is a collective noun generally used to describe pigs as a group rather than an individual, however it may often be implied in a pejorative manner to any living being expressing pig-like behavior. With around 2 billion on the planet, domestic pigs are also by far the most numerous pig species. Pigs are omnivores, and despite their reputation for gluttony, they are generally social and intelligent animals. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Lalu212 - Thu Oct 1 20:53:55 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. from what i understand, the swine flu and the flu that we are used to are very very similar, so one is not technically more dangerous then another. the difference is our body's response to swine flu vs the flues that our body's have been exposed to. each strain of flu virus, no matter how similar requires our body's to respond and recognzie it.
