Cats have them, rats have them, and so do dogs, beavers, sea lions, walruses, and almost all mammals. Even in humans, you find muscles in the upper lips that were once connected to the use of whiskers! When you look at pigs, their snout is obviously at the forefront of how they interact with their environment.
