A 2,000 lbs, 5 ft at the shoulder super hog is larger than most bear. I don't see wolves taking out bear and I sure don't see them taking out these super intelligent hogs. If anything I expect to see an extinction of the wolves as the hogs find them tasty!
Six million feral pigs in the US. No pigs in Canada before 2002. Thousands of pigs in Canada today. It's entirely possible that pigs migrated to Canada, (when they "rarely" venture to the North), from the US during the summer and some of them were able to withstand the winter.
In Australia, wild boars get the size of yearling steers and forage in groups of 200+
There has been an ongoing problem with offspring of escaped domestic pigs interbred with German wild boars that had escaped from a game preserve In northern New England for many years. I recall an afternoon when a herd showed up around the Sunapee ( N.H. ) High School, and they couldn't let the kids out to go home until they found a way to get the pigs to depart. The guy with the deer rifle turned the tide, but the incident went on for hours. Another time, several miles west of there, a lone surveyor was surprised by a crew of them, and was chased into an apple tree, where he spent the better part of the day before he felt safe enough to scram back to his car. He said the critters were clever, and pretended to wander off, but stayed close by, but out of sight, and would occasionally thunder back en mass to his tree to see if he was still around. These critters are for real!

Don't forget the head cheese and trotters. The only part of the pig you don't get to use is the squeal.
In the meantime, Spider-pig has already invaded into the US years ago and no one says a word!
Thanks Canada 👍 More hunting for us.
I’m sure some have come from Canada as of late but the lower states has had this issue for over a decade. Nice to see the media trying to pin it solely on another country

That map with the red dots at 1:20 was ridiculously misleading. I live in the areas of Saskatchewan that were filled in completely with their red dots and I’ve never seen a feral pig or seen signs of them anywhere near those areas. They do get the odd feral pig surviving our winters, in the more southern parts of the province, but nothing anywhere even slightly like this misleading news report made it seem.
This reminds me of that Adventure Time episode where Finn used a pig to destroy Jake's corn farm.
That is interesting. In Canada, people have started worrying about American razorbacks moving up North.

Canadians should worry. United States pigs are meaner and tougher than weak Canadian pigs!
I'm an old-school pig farmer (pasture and pen farrow, no crates). That hog at 2:43 only looks slightly feral, looks like it has Berkshire in it, if I had to guess. I had some Berk boars a few years ago that were fairly close to this.

Why are crates bad? My stepfamily had a few crates but mostly they had pastures and pens. Btw I knew nothing about farming when my mom married into that family and I couldn’t wait to stop pig farming when I left for college. Curious about the crates though.

I am Canadian... and we have never had wild pigs. This is BS media.
Is this like 'meals-on-wheels' for humans? So, wild pigs are like BBQ on hooves/Door Dash style?
So everyone seems to have forgotten the stories of super pigs living in the bayou from the 90’s. 1/2 ton goliaths were photoed for many articles with proud southern boys covered in swamp mud…
