Pigs are considered to be unguligrade animals. This means they walk on their hooves, which are modified digits. While they do have a plantigrade posture when standing still (because they rest on their entire foot), their locomotion is primarily unguligrade as they move on the tips of their toes, which are covered by hooves.
