It’s like something that’s out of a terrifying movie – a wild pig population that’s growing at such a rapid pace, experts are referring to it as a “feral swine bomb” that can go off any minute.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the invasive species of wild pigs has a population of at least 6 million and is growing quickly.

The wild pig population has “expanded from 17 states to at least 39 over the last three decades” and causes an estimated $2.5 billion in damage a year, The Atlantic said.

“I’ve heard it referred to as a feral swine bomb,” said Dale Nolte, manager of the National Feral Swine Damage Management Program at the USDA to The Atlantic. “They multiply so rapidly. To go from a thousand to two thousand, it’s not a big deal. But if you’ve got a million, it doesn’t take long to get to 4 [million], then 8 million.”

That hunter that felled a 500lb. pig has some work cut out to help decrease a population of pigs that seems to have man as a natural enemy.
 

That is why it is open season killing them where ever they roam. You can go up in helicopters and shoot them with assault rifles. Some counties and parishes even pay bounty on them. I think they all began many years ago when Russians brought pigs over and they evolved in to these monsters. They are extremely smart when it comes to trying to capture them via traps.
 
Such wild pigs are sometimes referred to as "Hogzilla" on shows like MonsterQuest. Here's an image of a 411-pounder. And wouldn't "Feral Swine Bomb" be a great name for a heavy metal band?
