Many Imitators, One Original

ByPatricia

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?

You know your onto something when swimming pigs start sprouting up all over the place. Believe it or not, we now have a herd of swimming pigs living on an island in Stockton, California:

And more swimming pig sightings on Sullivan’s Island in South Carolina:

And our personal favorite: the swimming pigs’ famous “cousin”, known as Kama, the surfing pig of Hawaii. This particular instance has also set the cyber world on fire with its amazing videos using a Go-Pro:

While we feel a bit bad for the swimming pigs of Exuma (Kama is showing off a bit, isn’t he?), we also take heart and join hooves with our brethren around the world. Horses, cows and chickens won’t do –  there is just something about the swimming pigs.
