Swimming with dolphins doesn't surprise anyone these days. You don't even need to live by the sea; you can do it in any dolphinarium. But how about swimming with pigs? That's the kind of adventure the welcoming Bahamas offer their guests!

Big Major Cay, also known as Pig Island, is one of the small islands in the Bahamas. Besides its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue waters, this island attracts tourists with its main attraction—the pigs. These animals are so accustomed to humans that they run to tourists as soon as they spot an approaching boat, hoping for a treat.

The only inhabitants of the island, the pigs, are even more interesting because they are swimmers. Thanks to their prolonged stays in the water, they are perfectly clean. The Bahamian pigs also come in a variety of colors: spotted, pink, dark brown. They interact with people like domestic dogs – they paddle, ask for a scratch behind the ear, and beg for treats.

There are several theories about how the pigs ended up on this uninhabited island. According to one theory, pirates brought them here and left them as a strategic food reserve. The pirates never returned to the island, but the pigs adapted perfectly to their new environment.
