I'd like to add that the Polynesian pig was quite small. They were
brought here, live, on canoes as a future food source when the
original settlers to Hawaii were migrating. Understandably everything
brought on the traveling canoe from food to people were carefully
selected for the long--over 2000 mile journey...so our Hawaiian wild
pigs are naturally smaller and hardy too <g>.
aloha,
Thunder
