When it comes to wild boars, everyone is no stranger. In the early years, they were common, often haunting the fields to steal crops, and their strength and speed made them abhorrent to farmers.
However, due to the destruction of the ecological environment, it is difficult for people to see wild boars again. In 2018, wild boar was added to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Recently, according to Fox News, a wildlife expert warned that the "super wild boar" that has invaded the United States will cause serious damage to the US environment and transmit diseases to humans, livestock and native wildlife, and they must be dealt with immediately.
Seeing this, you will definitely wonder: doesn't it say that wild boar is a protected animal? Since they are so harmful, why protect?
It is understood that the "super wild boar" in the United States is not the ordinary wild boar we know.
According to the National Geographic Channel, in the summer of 2004, in the swamp belt of southern Georgia, a local hunting guide named Chris Griffin claimed to have found and killed a 12-foot-long, 1,000-pound "monster" and took several photos after loading the "monster" to an excavator. The photo aroused doubts from scientists, and after investigation and DNA testing, it was confirmed that the cause of the formation of the "super wild boar" was a genetic mutation.
Super Boar
That is, the "super boar" in the United States is the product of a genetic mutation. Some experts say that "super wild boar" is likely to be a new breed derived from the mating of domestic pigs and wild boars.
If the destructive nature of wild boar is strong, then the destructive of "super wild boar" can be described as "invincible king".
The "Super Wild Boar" inherits the advantages of wild boar and domestic pigs, not only very intelligent, fast running, but also infinitely powerful, oversized, frequent and numerous. They can survive in harsh environments and are difficult to eliminate. Relevant information shows that the largest "super wild boar" is nearly a thousand catties.
The United States has not been threatened by the super boar in recent years, but for nearly 20 years. In the past few years, the "super wild boar" has caused a lot of damage, destroying plants, digging graves, shooting down planes, and doing anything bad.
Due to the high IQ of the "super wild boar", they mostly choose to operate at night and hide in the woods during the day, making it difficult for people to find them.
Some netizens said: "Why don't you eat them?" ”
After all, the "super wild boar" is a mutant species, and there are so many parasites and viruses in the body that it is impossible to eat at all.
Ryan Brooke, assistant professor of animal and poultry science at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, said: "This pig is undoubtedly the most aggressive large mammal in the world. "They can damage crops, destroy the natural environment, and enter cities, pollute water sources and even transmit diseases to humans."
In the end, I have to say, if the United States did not allow wild boar and domestic pigs to cross in the early days, how would it lead to today's situation?
