Are they feral pigs or ferry pigs? Well in this case, both.
Drivers who use the Port Aransas ferry system say they have seen several wild pigs hanging out by the ferry landing over the past couple of months. Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden Ben Baker said these pigs are most likely feral due to the elongation of their snouts.
Ferry system employees told KRIS 6 News reporter Erin Holly that the pigs do not bother them while they work. But some neighbors who use the ferry are concerned that they are an invasive species that are taking over the area.
