This Giant Mama Pig Loves Listening to Her Human
It turns out, pigs are pretty good listeners.
According to the National Institutes of Health, research finds that pigs are good listeners because they're able to emotionally respond to musical stimulation.
In the study, Vivaldi's compositions were played for three different sample groups: pigs housed alone, pigs contained in limited space, and pigs housed together.
The researchers found that music reduced stereotypic behavior and helped the pigs become more relaxed.
They also found that pigs can communicate through vocalizations, so you may just think those grunts and oinks are cute and funny, but they actually have meaning behind them!
All of this indicates that pigs are indeed good listeners and capable of comprehending and then appropriately responding to different sounds.

Why Animals Can Be Such Comforting Companions
This video is especially funny because the woman is seriously telling this pig all about the Summer House drama because she has run out of humans to discuss it with, according to the caption.
In case you didn't know, Summer House is a Bravo reality show that has been getting a lot of attention recently for two castmates who are having an affair and the major fallout they are having with the other stars of the show (basically, one woman, Amanda Batula, is dating her best friend's ex-boyfriend, and she isn't even divorced from another castmate yet).
That's some hot gossip, and this piggy wants to hear all about it... or maybe she just likes lying down in the sun, but now we know pigs are good listeners, so perhaps this piggy is all about the tea.
