    I’ve have learnt that Capybaras are also sometimes called “Water Pig” in German. We are onto something big here.

        i mean guinea pigs were originally bred as a replacement food source for ocean voyages as it tasted the same as a pig but was way smaller

        thus the name (morski prašiček - sea piglet in slovene)

        A porcupine is a “Spike Pig”. The hedgehog has a name on its own called “Igel”.

        Funny though if you look at the name hedgehog. Basically a wild pig in a bush.
