Tabloid reports mutant 'super pig' population spiraling near fallout zone
The Mirror reports feral boars interbred with domestic hogs near a nuclear exclusion zone in northeast Japan, producing aggressive hybrid "super pigs" whose population has spiraled. The Mirror says the hybrids are larger and faster than typical feral pigs and have been seen moving beyond the exclusion boundary into nearby villages and farmland. That raises public-safety and agricultural concerns because large, coordinated wild hogs can damage crops, injure people or livestock, and complicate wildlife management in contaminated zones where human access is restricted.
