If you live in the South, and a quickly growing number of other regions, there is a nuisance animal that is almost impossible to ignore.

Wild hogs.

According to a 2020 report by Texas Parks & Wildlife, the population of wild hogs in the United States grew from 2.4 million to 6.9 million, just between 1982 and 2016. It continues to grow at high rates (18-21% per year) due to a “high reproduction rate, generalist diet, and lack of natural predators.” In the same time frame, feral hogs have expanded their range from 18 states to 35.

The same report cites a 2007 study...

Concern is growing as a horde of over 6 million feral swine has wreaked havoc in the United States, causing massive environmental and economic damage. Wild pigs, which are invasive to the country, have long been a problem in Florida and Texas, but they are bringing their chaos to new areas with populations in 35 states.

A video of a groundhog and bobcat fighting came up on my feed today and I immediately assumed it would be yet another impressive display of skill from the bobcat. There’s no shortage of impressive feats these small but mighty cats have accomplished, from taking out rattlesnakes to clearing huge gaps over water.

Groundhogs, on the other hand, are notably less impressive…

While bobcats certainly aren’t too large, clocking in at up to 30 pounds, ground hogs weigh up to 13 pounds, so less than half. They’re pretty cute, but that’s...
