This explains why american pickups got so big
They interbreeded with wild pickups?
It's funny. Of all people who could use the supposed benefits of a large pickup, since they're offroading and carrying this shit, this seems to be a fairly standard size pickup. It's almost like a standard size pickup is actually reasonable and useful and the big ones cause more issues, if you're actually using them for their purpose, than they solve.
if only there were already an established species of large ungulates - ideally herbivores - to fill the niche and prevent hogs from over-expanding
You know what this continent needs? A wide ranging social apex predator that uses pack hunting techniques and controls the population of large herbivores!
Writing up a grant proposal to develop a Moose for the subtropics.
in the future americans will turn to a more nomadic life, following the massive herds of horse-sized boars that will fill the grazing void left behind by our first great abomination against nature, the extermination of the buffalo
wasn't that an abomination against humanity?
my vague understanding is that bison were carefully managed by indigenous people pre-1492. like a lot of things Europeans mistook for "natural" because they were unable to grasp the scale of the ecological interventions being made and the sophistication of the agricultural methods. And also by the time the norther parts were assessed by europeans, there was significant ecological disorganization caused by the genocide. And then, the genocide was furthered by intentional destruction of these animals in a strategy to destroy the humans.
eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison_hunting#Native_American_plains_bison_hunting
Mostly yes, a little bit no. The bison did experience a bit of a population boom after the population of native stewards got ravaged by disease and displacement. Then gun toting white people went
buckhogwild. Most "wild" things whites encountered except in the decades immediately after 1492 were in a huge state of instability or desolation.
I need my 57mm M1 anti-tank gun to defend my small children from the truck sized feral hogs assaulting my position.
Starship Troopers but it’s hogs instead of bugs
I'm from Boarnos Aires, and I say kill 'em all!
That's Blood and Bacon, fun game
Imagine how big of a poop they have on those balls.
YES YES YES!
Megafauna in the Americas making a comeback???
megahogs running rampant in the US is poetic af
Can't wait for the first megalohog that rolls around in an oil spill, then runs through a wildfire, finally making it's way into Lubbock as a distressed, flaming behemoth.
The Forest Spirit saved him? Saved the life of this loathsome runt? Why didn't he save Nago? Is he not the guardian of the forest? Why?
I understood that reference
These are almost always forced perspective or photoshopped. Feral swine can get real, real big, but it's more common for them to be between 75-250 lbs (so I am told by the US government webpage on invasive feral swine).
smh hexbears peddling US propaganda
30-50 feral hogs all in one
Alright when do we get to the raid boss
Brother
Thank you "PatriotRider" for keeping an eye on the feral hogs.
40-50 feral hogs charging onto my lawn where my small children are playing
It's funny because people were retweeting on Twitter with this is why I need my AR15 and it's like, buddy I don't think 5.56mm is saving you against this guy.
I need a 40mm Bofors anti-air gun for hog defense
In the quad mount configuration? Crew served weapons are much safer, anyhow.
I WANT TO CREATE THE MOST BIGGEST PIG POOP BALLS YOU EVER SEEN, WITH THESE PIGS, YOU HEAR ME, LET'S GO

Yo, CW this for dead animal, OP
Ty comrade
Is this real? How the fuck did anyone lift this into the truck without a fucking crane?
Looks like there's a small crane/hoist on the left side of the photo. Maybe a ramp and a winch and a net otherwise?
There are a bunch of pics of 600-800 lb pigs that have been hunted and they are like 1/4 the size of this
I'm calling bullshit
When he posts hog and its huge 😳
That’s a big ol hog
poor piggy :(
:officer-down:there aren't wild & domestic hogs? they're the same animal?
They literally change physically when they escape, growing bristles and tusks
Also generation upon generation of breeding especially for size and lean muscle mass will have an effect on the gene pool
i mean thats what's biologically interesting about them, that two things that look very different are simply a hormonal response to two environments in the same animal. but all the feral hogs (in the americas) are escaped domestic hogs.
if anything an offspring of feral stock from an older lineage with a modern bigger one would produce a smaller hog
This is why I need a Pak-36 3.7cm anti-tank gun
