By Courtney Brown.THE HOG FACTS
There are currently 23 species of hog in the world
The ancestors of the hog go back to the ice age.
Columbus in 1493 brought eight hogs to the west indies.
HISTORY ON HOGS
Hogs are like pigs…much uglier but still like pigs. They can be very aggressive when you mess with them.
The body of the wild hog is compact; the head is large, the legs relativly short.
The fur consist of mainly hard bristles and usually finer fur.The color usually varies from light gray to dark brown.
HOGS IN GENERAL
I recently interviewed a zoooligist from the San Antonio zoo.
Here are some questions and responses about hogs.Q) Do you suggest going anywhere near wild hogs?
A) Never go anywhere near wild hogs. They can be very dangerous. I suggest if you have any hogs living on your
property shoot them or call someone to help.Q) Who do you call to get rid of hogs on your property?
A) I personally do not know if there is a specific name for a hog trapper but there are numbers on the internet that you
can call.
HOG INTERVIEW.
“ The spiegel report mentions that German governments paymant compensating hunters for lost income due to
radioactive wild boar. The meat has quadrupled since 2007. Last year alone, $550,000 was paid to hunters who found
themselves with inedible boar meat, due to its radioactivity. The hunters would have otherwise sold the meat, but it was
deemed unfit for human consumption. “
The above paragraph was taken from discoverynews.com
EXPLAINING NEW DICOVERIES.
These radioactive hogs are normally found in Germany while I am researching wild hogs in America.
DICOVERY DOES NOT AFFECT MY RESEARCH
AREA.
This new dicovery has helped me to understand that some animals habitats are being taken or corrupted.
MAKING IT EASIER
The reasearch I have done on wild hogs will help me because I show pigs in
4-h
APPLIES TO MY LIFE
In the future hogs will breed to make new species. This will result in he hog species to spread.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Knowing about hogs helps me in my 4-h projects and in my hunting activities.
ADVANTAGES
THE END!!!!!!!!
