Pig

It’s interesting that Swine, Boar and Sow are mentioned in Scripture, but not pig.

Swine is found in Proverbs 11:22, Isaiah 65:4, 66:3,17
Matthew 7:6, 8:3-32 Mark 5:11-16 Luke 8:32-33, 15:15-16.
Boar is found in Psalm 80:13.

Sow (a female pig) is mentioned by Peter. He quotes a Proverb (26:11) and then seems to add to it.

2 Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

He’s writing about those professed to believe but have returned to their old ways 2 Peter 2:1-21; They are fools.
