This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘What’s That Aroma?’ See more responses here. Well, for this theme I just couldn’t get past this photo I took a while ago.
I spotted this wild pig in a cow pasture, burrowing into exactly what you think that’s likely to be in a cow pasture. But it’s not just the pig’s dinner that’s aromatic, the pigs do too. When they go by the bedroom window at night, I sometimes hear them, but I’m almost always alerted to their presence by the aroma, which is pungent enough to prompt an immediate, ‘What is that smell?’
Hmmm….are these wild pigs? My son in laws family owned a dairy farm (they had to sell a few years ago sadly), but they still live on the farm and still have some cows for beef…love the farm smell but some things not so much!

Yes, wild pigs. There are more wild pigs than domesticated on the island. Farm smells aren’t for everyone!

However lovable they might be, they certainly do pong!

Do you have a lot of wild pigs there?

Yes, there are quite a lot. People hunt them, but pigs breed prolifically so we’re not going to run out of them any time soon.

Pigs get a bad rap, I think, Graham, but some species are quite pungent. Great post for the theme this week–it’s not all roses 😉

I agree. They’re clearly smart and quite entertaining, but I do try to discourage them from hanging around the house. Right now, the mango tree is starting to drop fruit so they’re in the yard on a regular basis looking for windfalls.

Geez. Can’t say I’ve ever experienced that 😉 I suppose that’s one reason why some religions abhor pork.

I’m not sure their smell is the reason, though as part of their general reputation for uncleanliness I suppose it factors in.
