Happy as pigs in WHAT?????????
« on: December 10, 2011, 11:14:56 am »
Nearby Paradise Island may have a swim-with-dolphins program, but it's Exuma Key in the Bahamas that has what may be the world's weirdest water-going wildlife: pigs. Interestingly, a group of hogs is often called a drift, a particularly fitting name for this group

ENJOY, piggy people!  I did, and I'm not  ;D

its a good one       but have seen it before       somebody started to feed the pigs and they come out into the sea to get food      to bad when they the feeders trip up and become the food source :farmer:

Does that mean when I get my pigs I have to provide them with a heated swimming pool?
Not sure the OH will go for that one  ;D ;D

Oh, had you not already got this organised?   ;) :D

Seriously, those Bahaman pigs must get very overheated - and swimming in such warm water may not cool them down very much at all!

I think Meg would love me to heat her wallow - there are only a handful of days a year hereabouts that a pig really needs a wallow to cool down in...  :(
