Pigs might SWIM in the Bahamas, where these beach bum oinkers paddle up to 300ft from the shore to enjoy the 24C Caribbean sea.
Pigs may not be able to fly but, as these pictures from the Bahamas show, they can definitely swim.
在Big Major Cay海湾的这个无人居住的加勒比海岛上,生活着这么一大家子的猪,它们似乎成为了某种旅游景点,每年都有上千人来和他们一起游泳。
The swine trot along the beach, soaking up the sun before taking a dip in the 24C ocean, often paddling 300ft from the shore to greet people as they arrive on yachts.
Just how the pigs came to live on the island, which is blessed with a fresh waterspring, is shrouded in mystery.
One theory is that sailors dropped the animals off on the island, known as BigMajor Cay, with the intention of coming back to eat them later but never returned. Another legend suggests they were involved in a shipwreck but wereable to swim to shore, remaining on the island ever since.
All they ever have to worry about is where their next meal is coming from, and they have worked out that crews of passing yachts regularly dump excess food into the sea.
