North America’s Feral Pig Invasion

Video Description

Feral hogs are tearing up farms and forests across North America, costing billions and spreading fast despite all our efforts. Learn how explorers like Columbus started the invasion to them now being in at least 35 states, the massive damage they cause, and that traps and hunts aren't enough to hold them back. If you enjoy these kinds of deep‑dives into wildlife topics, then a like and a subscription really helps me keep making them.
