Pigs have a limited tolerance to high temperatures and heat stress can lead to death. Maintaining a more specific temperature within the pig-tolerance range also maximizes growth and growth-to-feed ratio. Indoor piggeries have allowed pig farming to be undertaken in countries or areas with unsuitable climate or soil for outdoor pig raising. [8]
The wild boar (Sus scrofa), also known as the wild swine, [4] common wild pig, [5] Eurasian wild pig, [6] or simply wild pig, [7] is a suid native to much of Eurasia and North Africa, and has been introduced to the Americas and Oceania. The species is now one of the widest-ranging mammals in the world, as well as the most widespread suiform. [5]
Skrova lighthouse on an island near Svolvær has the longest recording of air temperature in Lofoten. The warmest temperature recorded is 30.4 °C (86.7 °F) in June 1972. The coldest temperature recorded is −15.1 °C (4.8 °F) in February 1966. The last overnight freeze in June was in 1962, and the last freeze in September was in 1986.
In the Canary Islands, annual average temperature varies from less than 10 °C (50 °F) in the highest altitude area of Santa Cruz de Tenerife to more than 21.5 °C (70.7 °F) on lower areas of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while the average annual precipitation ranges from more than 1,000 millimetres (39 in) on the highest altitudes of La Palma to ...
Highest temperatures ever recorded in Spain [ edit ] On July 30, 1876 and August 4, 1881, temperatures of 51.0 °C (123.8 °F) and 50.0 °C (122.0 °F) [ 1 ] were both reported for Seville : these readings are unreliable, since they were measured under a standard exposure and in poor technical conditions.

Bathymetry of the Nordic Seas, with iso depth contours and description of the main topographic features of the area. [5]The Lofoten Basin is a well-defined topographic depression of about 3250 m depth, situated between the Norwegian continental slope in the east, the Vøring Plateau and the Helgeland Ridge in the south and southwest, and the Mohn Ridge in the northwest.

Adult pigs generally weigh between 140 and 300 kg (310 and 660 lb), though some breeds can exceed this range. Exceptionally, a pig called Big Bill weighed 1,157 kg (2,551 lb) and had a shoulder height of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in). [5] Pigs possess both apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, although the latter are limited to the snout. [6]
Life zones of the Alps. The climate of the Alps is the climate, or average weather conditions over a long period of time, of the exact middle Alpine region of Europe. [1] [2] As air rises from sea level to the upper regions of the atmosphere the temperature decreases.
