Description: This dude about 90 cm tall, moved in from a neighbor to eat our fallen fruit. Ferocious, chased our dogs all the time. He was recaptured by the owner in a pool of the river where he went to cool down from the heat. We last saw him dragging three men over the ridge squealing like hell. His mate got pregnant and escaped to give birth to 15 piglets and I believee one of the neighbors further up the river shot all 15, popped them in his freezer and had piglets for the next 15 Christmases.
