The Swimming Pigs of Bahamas

Big Majors Cay is located in between nearly four hundred small islands in the Exuma district of the Bahamas. How the pigs got into these prime tropical waters is anybody’s guess. Theories range from sailors putting the pigs on the island as a future source of meat, to the pigs being the sole survivors of a long ago shipwreck (good thing they can piggy paddle!). These days they’re doing very well on the aptly named Pig Beach, where they are daily visited by tourists who feed them treats. The clever pigs have it timed so they show up on the beach each day when the boats are most likely to arrive. Not a bad life if you ask us!
