Photograph byMelissa GrooDescription
Stepping into the ocean, this loud snorting beach pig enjoys a great paddle in the Bahamas. The Exumas' swimming pigs live on Big Major Cay, an uninhabited island reached by boat from nearby Staniel Cay. They are not native to the island, and no one knows for sure how they got there. About 20 pigs and piglets live there today.
