That's a better role model indeed.

To be fair, if you quickly look for pigs breeds, you will probably find images like this one: https://www.breedslist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Types-of-Pig-Breeds.jpg https://www.breedslist.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Types-... where all breeds seem rather chunky and short-legged.
