Reading the news
As is my usual habit, I was scanning the Internet tonight for news involving wild pigs (feral pigs, wild boar, wild hogs, etc.). There was more from Missouri, a bit about Colorado (wild hogs in elk country?!?), and then this great piece from an Arkansas online news source. I have a feeling I’ll be logging in regularly to read this guy! He’s a hoot!
I’ve also been following this really cool bit of genetic tracking in the Pacific islands. By using the feral/wild hogs on the islands, researchers are starting to find that the early settlers in many of these Pacific Islands may have come from Vietnam instead of China.
