Bahamas – A group of tourists to the Bahamas enjoyed one of the country’s unique attractions when they were greeted on a boat by a herd of swimming pigs looking for a snack.
The pigs swim to the side of the vessel and jockey for the best position as the tourists squeal in excitement.
With the prospect of food and none yet being provided, the two animals become increasingly demanding as they tread the shallow water.
They soon jump on to the edge of the boat, hang their trotters over the side of it and begin begging for food from those on board.
Eventually, they receive food from the people on the boat and continue to hang on to the side of it with their mouths wide open in anticipation.
Then they make their way over to another boat in the hope of receiving even more food.
There are many theories as to how the pigs arrived at the island. Some believe that a group of sailors dropped the pigs off at the beach with the intention of coming back to cook and eat them, but they didn’t return. Others say that the pigs survived a shipwreck and managed to swim to shore.
And perhaps the most cynical and least romantic suggestion is that the pigs are part of a business scheme to attract tourists to the Bahamas.
