\n The US wild pig population is soaring and rapidly multiplying, which experts describe as a ticking \u2018feral swine bomb,\u2019 according to a report on Saturday.<\/p>\n

There are roughly nine million feral swine running rampant across the US. The invasive species already costs the US an estimated $2.5 billion each year in damages and control costs, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). As their numbers continue to rise, the damage will only get worse.<\/p>\n

In fact, the wild pig population has expanded from 17 states to at least 39 over the last three decades, The Atlantic reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard it referred to as a feral swine bomb,\u201d says Dale Nolte, manager of the National Feral Swine Damage Management Program at the USDA. \u201cThey multiply so rapidly. To go from a thousand to two thousand, it\u2019s not a big deal. But if you\u2019ve got a million, it doesn\u2019t take long to get to 4 [million], then 8 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan Brook, a University of Saskatchewan biologist who researches wild pigs says that most of them are a mixture of domestic breeds and European wild boar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem with the hybrids is you get all of the massive benefits of all of that genetics,\u201d Brook told the paper. \u201cIt creates what we\u2019d call super-pigs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like something out of the 2017 film Okja, which involved a company manufacturing a special kind of \u201csuper pig,\u201d he says the actual real-life wild hybrid \u201csuper-pigs\u201d are intelligent and have a very good sense of smell. They also gain physical attributes from boars \u2014 like heavy fur \u2014 which increase their ability to survive in the wild.<\/p>\n

In addition to boars, the hybrids gain benefits from domestic pigs, which are bred to be fertile year-round and to have large litters \u2014 an average of 10 piglets in each, The Atlantic reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Due to their genetics and rapidly spreading population, there are estimated to be more than 1.5 million feral hogs in Texas, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife.<\/a> Florida has more than 500,000 wild hogs and there are estimated to be between one to two million in the southeastern US, the University of Florida reported.<\/a> California also has a large population.<\/p>\n

\u201cPig populations are completely out of control,\u201d Brook said of their expansion in North America, according to the paper. \u201cThe efforts to deal with them are about one percent of what\u2019s currently needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The feral swine cause major damage to property, crops, livestock, native species and ecosystems and cultural and historic resources, the USDA\u2019s website says.<\/a> They also threaten the health of \u201cpeople, wildlife, pets and other domestic animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs feral swine populations continue to expand across the country, these damages, costs and risks will only keep rising,\u201d the USDA added.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
