小豬佩奇為什麼是粉紅色?
在很多影視作品中,我們總能看到「小豬」的形象:
當然,也有我們的社會人——小豬佩奇
這些形象,無一例外,都是粉色的。《小豬佩奇》又名《粉紅豬小妹》,我們在生活中,接觸到的都是白色小豬,但回想一下,農村中還是有黑色、白色、花斑、條紋等各類小豬。
按顏色對小豬進行區分,一般可以分為白色、粉色、黑色、棕色以及花色。
在豬肉的生產和消費中,中國位列第一,美國第二。全世界有超過300個豬種。比較著名的有8個豬種,我們今天先看4個。

長白豬的產量比其他豬種略少,但是養殖環境無論好壞,長白豬的產量都較為穩定,所以長白豬很適合佛系養殖者。
4.Yorkshire Pig["j?rk?]
約克夏豬
Which originated early in the 19th century in England, where it was considered a bacon type, is long, lean, and trim with white hair and skin. Found in most countries, this breed is probably the most widely distributed in the world.

約克夏豬也叫作大白豬(Large White Pig),最初的約克夏豬是由英國北部的本土白豬和中國體型較小的白豬雜交而成的,也是北美約克夏豬的祖先。
長白豬單從外表看,和約克夏豬很像,但是有一個突出的不同就是,長白豬耳朵耷拉著,約克夏豬耳朵是立著的。
皮膚粉紅,耳朵豎起,瘦肉型豬,約克夏豬就是小豬佩奇的原型了。
