  • Bahama feral pigs were once domestic pigs let loose by local farms. Through cunning and resourcefulness, they've continued to thrive in the wild - and fuel Bahaman tourism along the way.

      What happens when certain species of domesticated animals like chickens and pigs escape to live and breed in the wild? After a few generations they start to look and act like their wild ancestors again. That's how it happens for chicken and pigs . Don't embarrass yourself dude .

    • @malaciousmark3903
      @malaciousmark3903 5 років тому +2

      ThE DuCk I don’t have a big mouth I simply stated that a species that are intensely selectively bred for hundreds of years cannot gain back alleles. If you did a google search on how genetics work you would understand that.
      All livestock animals (pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep, and goats) cannot ever look like their original wild animal. Genes can be lost and changed. Just because you release an animal back into the wild won’t mean that they can gain genes that have been literally bred out of the animal. The only way that can happen is if they crossbred with their wild counterparts.
      If you compare any domesticated animal with their wild counter part you’d realize that they are basically completely different species.
      So maybe you should take your advice and look up how genes work bud.

    The pigs are not wild you have to pay a tour guide to let the pigs out to swim with you and they give you food to feed the pigs, watch any tourist video to see for yourselves it's really disappointing seeing the pigs being locked up until the next tourist group comes and feeds them. Sure it beats the life of most pigs but it would've been awesome if they were wild like they use to be before it became popular to swim with them now people have caught them and made it all about money 😢😢
