Pork is just one of countless animals that are considered to be not fit for consumption in Judaism. The requirement for mammals, according to kashrut (dietary law), is that they have both split hooves AND chew their cud. Any animal that doesn't meet these two requirements can't be used for food according to kashrut. Additionally, in the list of animals not allowed in the Torah, pigs are actually at the bottom of the list.
