This reminds me of how God refines us in our daily lives. What have we truly learned if everything is always perfect? ;)

I heard and don't know if it is true, that a pig is the only animal that will look you straight in the eye and stare you down! :D

We can't know that for sure. No one is gonna hang around long enough to see if this is true of a lion or a tiger. Actually, these creatures probably lack the patience to stare down a human. That's bad. . . . . . . . for the human, that is.
By the way, I've heard that pigs are relatively smart animals. I don't know if this is true, but some believe that pigs are smarter than chimpanzees.
