"Super pigs: A looming invasive threat crossing borders from Canada to the US"
Canadian officials are concerned that a population of "super pigs," a crossbreed of wild Eurasian boar and domestic swine, will soon invade the United States. These highly adaptable and invasive wild hogs are spreading out of control in Canada, posing a threat to native species and agriculture. Feral swine already cause approximately $2.5 billion in agricultural damages each year in the US. Efforts to eradicate them have proven challenging, with hunting having a low success rate. States like Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana are taking measures to prevent the invasion of these "super pigs."
