The porcine invasion comes at a time when the US is already struggling to contain feral swine elsewhere in the country with a domestic population estimated at six million across 35 states. Wild pigs are extremely destructive in agricultural settings. Crops are an easily accessible food source for wild pigs. They prefer crops like sugar cane, corn, wheat, oats, lettuce, and much more. When wild pigs trample through fields, create wallows, engage in rooting behavior, and tear up crops for consumption, damage can encourage invasive plant growth or create hazardous conditions for farm equipment and workers.

The Canadian super pig is a hybrid species that was made by mating domestic pigs and wild boars, according to The Guardian.

Most of those pigs were kept on meat farms, but some were used on high-fence hunting preserves. Many farmers and ranchers soon crossbred the wild boars with domestic pigs. According to Brook, the hybridization resulted in bigger “super pigs” that could survive in cold climates. “For surviving in cold winters, one of the rules of ecology is: the bigger the better,” he says. “Larger body animals survive the cold better and have better reproduction in those conditions.” Initially from Europe, the pigs were shipped to Canada in the 1980s to diversify the country’s agriculture.Switch: Very doable and this little tapered directional Ride Superpig did a good job throwing it around fakie.

Tappered means that the widest point of each tip is moved closer to the centre of the board to facilitate edge grip and maximise flotation. Despite its small size, you will still soar above the fresh snow. Roll-in Construction - Unique 3D structure built around the urethane Slimewall sidewalls.
