A wild pig tackles a mango in Hawaii

The mango tree is dropping fruit, which means that the numerous wild pigs around here are stopping by on a regular basis to scarf them up. This is one of them, or is it? A tag in the ear usually indicates a domesticated animal, but this one was roaming with the other wild pigs. An escapee perhaps? Part of a scientific study?

But them I looked at the tag again, 004. Surely, this means the pig is a British secret agent, probably sent to check up on me and make sure I’m drinking enough tea and not bad-mouthing the king. Hopefully, he’s not yet licensed to kill, just to eat mangoes.
