Our Hawaiian wild pigs, which were squealing/fighting out the window
last night, are a combination of the Polynesian pig brought over with
the original Hawaii settlers as a food source- on their canoes in
about the 1200s- and they combined with the European pigs brought over
by Capt. Vancouver in 1792. Many ended up in our bountiful rainforest
where they live today. Our wild pigs get up too 250 pounds and
sometimes a little larger.
