The pig is great if we can just get those ears tucked. A freshly shorn sheep would be pretty smooth, I hear they are rather direction disoriented, would tend to be urban only..
But the pigmobile can run on about anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(fuel wise)

They stand with their backside to the wind because their sense of smell alerts them to any predators approaching from upwind, but they can't smell anything approaching from downwind, so they use their sense of vision to monitor that direction.
