| Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) cause extensive damage to wet forests in Hawaii. Originally introduced by Polynesian voyagers from the Marquesas Islands ca. 400 AD, the small (20 kilos) Polynesian pig has been completely replaced by larger (200 kilo) domesticated European breeds (shown here) introduced to the archipelago about 200 years ago. |
