Truffles. Ever hear how pigs search for and find them? Here's the question:
How is it that the pigs find the truffles?
Answer below
They produce a scent that mimics a male pig sex hormone, and for this reason, female pigs have been used historically in Europe to help find truffles. However, more recently, dogs have become preferred for truffle hunting since they can be trained to just find the truffles whereas sows eat the truffles as soon as they find them.

They sniff them out and dig 'em up with their snouts.
Well I sorta read the answer above so I'll say by following a confectioner home and mugging him or her.
Truffle "pigs", as they are lovingly monikered in the restaurant industry, are an unusual type of human being that obtains their prey simply by finding a restaurant that sublimely prepares them and then orders DOUBLE.
Your answer is taken directly from Wikipedia, you should try citing next time.
