Pigs are socially competent and capable of learning. But the combination of these skills, learning by observing others, has been insufficiently studied so far.

A new study with Kune Kune pigs, has now shown for the first time that pigs do learn from each other. The intelligent animals also possess remarkable long-term memory after internalizing a technique.
