Pigs walk on their toes, specifically the third and fourth digits of their limbs, which are known as the third and fourth phalanges. They have a structure called the "cannon bone" that supports their weight, which is actually the fused metacarpals in the front legs and metatarsals in the hind legs. This adaptation allows them to have a stable and strong stance while foraging and moving.
