A new study has revealed the potential for an invasion of feral ‘super pigs’ into the northern United States from Canada. These pigs, a hybrid of domestic swine and wild boar, have thrived in the harsh Canadian climate, exhibiting high reproductive rates, mobility, and resistance to cold temperatures. Their rapid expansion across Canada has raised concerns about their potential ecological impact, including damage to agricultural production and ecosystems. The study’s findings have identified areas vulnerable to pig expansion, such as wetlands, deciduous forests, and border regions, highlighting the need for proactive mitigation strategies to prevent their spread.
