World’s Oldest Potbellied Pig On Record

I just came across this in the Dallas Morning News:  “Dallas pet happy to hog spotlight as world’s oldest pig.”

Yes, Oscar, as he is called, holds the Guinness World Record for his old age.  Oscar is 20 years old whereas normally potbellied pigs only live around 15.

Still, it wouldn’t surprise if there were other pigs that share Oscar’s feat of long life, but whose owners did not think to submit the requisite documentation that would prove their pigs’ ages.

For example, the late potbellied pig Gwendolyn who caused such a stir in Maryland was said to be 20 years of age as well.  It would be interesting to know of other cases of elderly pigs.
