These Swimming Pigs Live a Cushy Lifestyle in the Bahamas

Bahama feral pigs were once domestic pigs let loose by local farms. Through cunning and resourcefulness, they've continued to thrive in the wild - and fuel Bahaman tourism along the way.

I work with them everyday at the farm I work at there more intelligent than some people. If anyone goes don't turn your back to him cuz they will bite you. And sometimes when they run they have a habit of swinging their body cuz they don't always run straight sometimes they turn at the last second they can swing your body read in your body they will knock you over or seriously hurt you

In many parts of the world (in particular, outside Eurasia), pigs are an invasive species. They are remarkably clever, adaptive creatures, and after heedless humans set them loose in non-native environs, pigs devastate their new ecosystem.

It would be interesting to see if they’ve began any forms of evolution due to the amount of swimming

[@AloisAgos]

That will take many more generations to evolve that way, but give it time.

[@macalad]

Doubtful, evolution takes millions of years, not just a few generations

[@wannacashmeoutside]

That would take tiny mutations over hundreds of thousands to millions of years. But I think that’s a great question! I wonder the same thing about Escobar’s hippos in the Colombian Amazon. I wonder if they are speciating before our eyes :)

[@loganlin6109]

Probably not, without evolutionary pressure(as in some sort of hardship that kills off the ones with certain traits) they would probably not evolve.

[@b_uppy]

They are so cute. These are recently freed because those allowed to breed in the wild for long revert to original type.

[@malaciousmark3903]

Animals don’t revert to they’re natural type. That’s not how it works.

[@AndiDuck]

@@malaciousmark3903 What happens when certain species of domesticated animals like chickens and pigs escape to live and breed in the wild? After a few generations they start to look and act like their wild ancestors again. That's how it happens for chicken and pigs . Don't embarrass yourself dude . You have more than a big mouth , you have a search engine too.

[@malaciousmark3903]

ThE DuCk I don’t have a big mouth I simply stated that a species that are intensely selectively bred for hundreds of years cannot gain back alleles. If you did a google search on how genetics work you would understand that. All livestock animals (pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep, and goats) cannot ever look like their original wild animal. Genes can be lost and changed. Just because you release an animal back into the wild won’t mean that they can gain genes that have been literally bred out of the animal. The only way that can happen is if they crossbred with their wild counterparts. If you compare any domesticated animal with their wild counter part you’d realize that they are basically completely different species. So maybe you should take your advice and look up how genes work bud.
