Wild pigs, conquering all Florida counties, now taking over USA

Wild hogs, introduced to Florida by Spanish settlers in the 1500s, have spread to at least 35 states, leading to concerns about a “feral swine bomb” due to their rapidly growing population.

These invasive pigs pose significant threats to agriculture by damaging crops, particularly corn, and could also introduce a deadly disease that threatens the U.S. pork industry.

As urban development encroaches on wild lands, the likelihood of garden damage and rare attacks on humans increases.
