animals Story: Pig Beach - the island of the cutest pigs in the Caribbean Sea

We bet you'll be charmed by these adorable local animals of the Bahamas!

The animal world of the Bahamas is very poor and is represented mainly by birds and several species of lizards. That's why it's really surprising that a few dozen of pigs were able to settle in one of the islands.

No one knows how exactly the animals got to the island. There is an assumption that they were landed here a long time ago by a team of a ship sailing nearby to pick them up and eat them on the way back, but for some reason they couldn't do it. Another guess is that the pigs simply escaped during the wreck of the ship that carried the animals. The fact that in addition to pigs, several goats and cats also live on the island somehow proves the second assumption.

The island quickly became a tourist attraction, so you shouldn't worry about these animals -
they always have plenty of water and food.

Love stories when the happy ending is for the animals.

I've heard of the bay of pigs but not the beach

Ian Swindale

I hope these pigs do not land up on our dinner plates

The island belongs to my son's father-in-law and the pigs were introduced for two reasons. 1. Tourist attraction and 2. Pork!

Nice pictures.

Yes, they are cute. But, they forage and destroy the ecosystem. All over the world pigs, goats, rabbits etc have been dumped by people (usually Europeans) for future food. With disastrous consequences for the native flora and fauna.

I agree. Pork roast for dinner. Hog cooked on the grill is awesome. No biker event down here in SW Florida is complete without it.

Not really a pig person but this is a good article.

There is a down side to these pigs in the Bahamas. Apparently they depend on the food from the tourists. And are hungry without it. When they lived in a woodsy are, they foraged for themselves andfoudenough food. Itisadvised that tourists should stop feeding them sotheysill return to the firsts,
