A mutant super pig population has spiraled out of control — thanks to their inherited, rapid reproductive cycles — in the ghost towns of a nuclear fallout zone in Japan, according to reports and researchers.
The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster, spurred by a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami, forced roughly 164,000 people to flee from their homes to escape the radiation zone.
Amid the chaos, domestic pigs escaped into abandoned farmland and began interbreeding with indigenous feral boars — creating a mutant pig population with alarming genes, Popular Science reported.
Researchers from Fukushima and Hirosaki Universities discovered through DNA analysis that the hybrid progeny inherited the maternal domestic pig’s rapid reproductive cycle, allowing populations to quickly multiply, unlike that of the boar, according to findings from the Journal of Forest Research.
“While it has been previously suggested that hybridization between rewilded swine and wild boars can contribute to population growth, this study demonstrates — through the analysis of a large-scale hybridization event following the Fukushima nuclear accident — that the rapid reproductive cycle of domestic swine is inherited through the maternal lineage,” Professor Shingo Kaneko of Fukushima University said in a statement.

Extra chewy? 😳

So THIS is how you create a R(h)INO
The Government has been experimenting
with Pig Men since the 50’s!
We should import some and let them loose in Minneapolis, Detroit, etc.

Domestic Pigs return to feral wild Pigs after only two breeding generations. The Fukushima thing had nothing to do with it.
READ THE STORY.
It’s got nothing directly to do with Fukashima.
When the locals fled the city, some of their domestic swine escaped and have interbred with the local wild swine. The result is a mutant that retains the domestic hogs’ high-speed, fast-population growth reproductive cycle, so there’s a wild hog population boom going on.
Good idea. Air drop them into mogunappolis.

That’s not Battersea Power Station, is it?
“...Mutant ‘super pig’ population spirals out of control

So... it is NOT really a “Super Pig” population,
But just a super “Pig Population”...
Right?
Not a problem. Just hire Boudreaux and Thibodeaux from South Louisiana Lafourche Parish, Smith and Jones from East Texas, Gonzoles and Lopez from the Texas border and the best damn black cooks the South has. They make the best BBQ. Soon Japan would have the best damn road side BBQ in the world. Give the shooters Give them all scoped Remington 700 rifles. Japan would soon have a shortage of wild pigs.
Relative to BBQ in all seriousness some of the best I have eaten here in Texas roadside joints has been from black cooks. It is delicious. When you see expensive cars parked outside these joints, you know the food is good.
