One of the things we really like about cruising is going out exploring in the dinghy. * This afternoon we found a nice beach on an island north of Green Turtle Cay that appeared to be deserted. *Less than two minutes after landing however, a couple of local inhabitants came out to greet us. *After polite apologies were offered, we were allowed to leave quickly and quietly: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/23519672 Cool - ok, maybe not so cool, but interesting. I read something in NatGeo a year or so back and watched a documentary about feral piggies - it was actually about "Hogzilla" I think, but there was a long detailed explanation about feral pigs in the documentary. Apparently, pigs revert when they go feral - their hair gets long, tusks grow, they get much more aggressive, they get longer and leaner and as they are already smart, can become very dangerous. *It was pretty interesting to watch. "Babe" pretty much proved how smart pigs are. I think that was based on a true story. Pigs are really gentle, affectionate and trainable. An all-around admirable companion for mankind. After watching that I almost became a vegetarian. Two things stopped me. Bacon and baby back ribs. --Vic One of our near neighbors in Jax had a little "Vietnamese" pot-bellied pig as a pet, along with a couple of dogs. The pig was cute as it could be, and "hung out" with the two dogs as a sort of friendly, neighborly pack. Once in a while, the pig would dig a hole under the fence and "escape" for a few minutes with the dogs. The pig was obviously a lot smarter than the dogs. Well, I guess that isn't saying much, is it?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Why? Dogs dig out from fences all of the time. |
