Easily demonstrated by many measures: Basics: they poop and don’t need anyone to clean them. They don’t scream when a predator is around because they understand what can happen. They run from predators.
Simple: they can walk and run and find food for themselves at some point to become self sufficient.
Complex: they know who momma is and live in social groups for the most part. They communicate with each other.

It might not really be in the spirit of the post, but it’s because of the brain. They take a lot of power to fuel, so to keep that big brain running, we have to skimp on things like mobility. Babies can be pretty dumb, but, they’ve been learning a LOT. They just can’t tell you about it yet, but they will soon, because unlike the pig, they are listening and they are learning.
