Pigs are reportedly extremely intelligent, can grow to over 600 pounds and are hard to eradicate<\/p>\n
A cross-bred “super pig” from Canada is poised to wreak havoc on the environment in the United States and must be dealt with aggressively and immediately, a wildlife expert told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
“These pigs are easily the worst invasive large mammal on the planet,” said Dr. Ryan Brook, an assistant professor in the department of animal and poultry science at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada.<\/p>\n
These “super pigs” are actually a cross between a European wild boar and a domestic pig, Brook said.<\/p>\n
The pigs “cause crop damage, destroy natural environments, get into cities, destroy water quality and can spread disease to humans, livestock, pets and native wildlife,” he also noted.<\/p>\n
The pigs are coming into the U.S. from Canada as their numbers swell there, causing populations to migrate south. Left unchecked, these “super pigs” could negatively impact just about everyone, Brook emphasized.<\/p>\n
