Actually, you need to brush up on your knowledge of animal behaviour and intelligence. Pigs are smarter than dogs and easily the smartest farm animals, where the competition is poor. The main reason why pigs are seen to roll around in mud is because they are usually kept in tiny, highly unsuitable pens and cages.
