Farm Animals

Farm animals are animals that are domesticated for agricultural purposes. Raised for a variety of purposes serving human demands, farm animals are commonly used for commodities such as meat, leather, wool, and the production of milk, eggs, and other natural products. Keeping livestock has been a human activity across the world since humans transitioned to farming from hunter-gatherer lifestyles. Farm animals can be differentiated by dairy animals, poultry animals, and transportation animals.

Groundhog | Woodchuck

The Groundhog or Woodchuck, scientifically known as Marmota monax, is one kind of the 14 species of giant ground squirrels identified as marmots. The Groundhog undergoes hibernation and will dig a winter burrow deep enough to ensure a temperature above freezing as well as maintain a maximum weight right before entering this state.

Also called the “whistle-pig,” the Groundhog utilizes a high-pitched whistle to alert its colony if it notices danger. Another way it remains watchful is by standing completely still on its hind feet. The Groundhog or Woodchuck is noted for being territorial and aggressive in nature, using its claws and incisors to dig or attack if needed.

Groundhogs have a height of 8.7”-11” (22-28 cm), body length between 16”-20” (41-51 cm), and an overall weight in the range of 5-13 lb (2.3-5.9 kg). The tail length of a Groundhog is 4”-6” (10-15 cm). Groundhogs have a typical lifespan of 3-6 years in the wild and up to 10-14 years in captivity.

Miniature Pig

The Miniature Pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) is a breed of domestic pig that was first introduced as a research animal. Working with a large 500 lb (227 kg) pig was not ideal for researchers, thus the Miniature Pig was born.

The Miniature Pig is the 3rd smartest animal, right behind the Chimpanzee and Dolphin, this makes them great house pets because they can easily learn new tricks and tasks like going out to the bathroom or being a comfort animal. Appearances can vary depending on the breed of pig, but a Miniature Pig can be pink, grey, or even black with certain spotting or marks along their face or body.

Miniature Pigs have a height between 14”-20” (36-51 cm), body length of 22”-32” (56-130 cm), and an overall weight in the range of 50-200 lb (23-90 kg). The lifespan of a Miniature Pig is typically 5 years, but the breed can live up to 12-18 years if cared for properly.

Appaloosa Horse

The Appaloosa Horse is an American horse breed most famous for its colorful pattern of spotted coats. There are a variety of body types within the race, which stem from various horse races' historical influence.

The pattern of each horse is genetically derived from the various patterns of spots, overlaid by one of a few recognized colors of the base coat, such as white, black, grey, and brown. The Appaloosa Horse is a tall, tight-fit, squatty horse. The form of the body represented a mix that started before 1700 in the American plains with typical Spanish Horses.

Appaloosa Horses have a shoulder height of 14-16 hands (56”-64” | 142-163 cm), an overall weight in the range of 950-1250 lb (431-567 kg) and a typical lifespan of 30 years.
