swimming pigs

Oceanic swine phenomenon

Swimming pigs are feral pigs that inhabit certain islands in the Bahamas and swim out to greet tourist boats, hoping for food.

The pigs of Big Major Cay became famous through social media and tourism marketing, turning what was once a local curiosity into a bucket-list attraction: We took a boat tour to see the swimming pigs.
