I'll try to remember what documentary that was
but I bet when Rick comes back, he'll know all about how it works
The animal whose tissues RESEMBLE ours most closely is the pig. But the animal whose tissues are most closely related would be the Chimpanzee. The Chimpanzee shares 99% of the same DNA as a human. That mere 1% makes the difference!

it seems they have found that pig tissue is compatible with human tissue for transplant purposes with very low rejection problems
apparently it works better than the tissues of our closer relatives
don't know much more about it than that
