minus-squareHolzkohlen@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up29·11 months agoI’ve have learnt that Capybaras are also sometimes called “Water Pig” in German. We are onto something big here.

minus-squaretilcica@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up24·11 months agoi mean guinea pigs were originally bred as a replacement food source for ocean voyages as it tasted the same as a pig but was way smaller thus the name (morski prašiček - sea piglet in slovene)

minus-squareSapientSloth@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoA porcupine is a “Spike Pig”. The hedgehog has a name on its own called “Igel”. Funny though if you look at the name hedgehog. Basically a wild pig in a bush.
