Feral Pigs Photographed Swimming in the Caribbean
Elsa Blaine — July 18, 2009 — Eco
While swimming with pigs in the Bahamas, underwater photographer Eric Cheng took these remarkable images. The once domestic swine are now feral and run wild in the sandy beaches and water of the Caribbean.
It looks like they would be as much fun to frolic with in the ocean as dolphins. Who needs a puppy, I want a piglet!
