Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character.
All the other male pigs on the farm were porkers. The best known among them was a small fat pig named Squealer,
with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice.
