They can swim, but they can't fly...

Nice shot, thanks for posting

At Big Major Cay in the Exumas, in the Bahamas, these pigs have their own little island and swim out to greet boaters. They love to have their ears rubbed and love handouts of food.

That is very nice, but I was under the impression that they only fly

Yes, it would be good to show them actually swimming. They are quite the site!

They are definitely characters! They will try to climb into your dinghy, hoping to get food. And they will stand and let you rub their ears for as long as you will. They are stars and know it!
