Australian Wild Pigs

The feral pig in Australia is a descendant of various breeds of Sus scrofa, the domestic pig. The pig was first introduced into Australia by the First Fleet in May 1788 when 49 pigs were brought into Sydney as a food source. Pigs were subsequently allowed to roam and by the 1880s had run wild in NSW.

Once established in the wild, populations of feral pigs rapidly increased and dispersed into suitable habitat, usually following watercourses and floodplains. Pigs spread widely and rapidly throughout the northern and eastern regions of the country. Today, it is estimated that Australia has up to 24 million feral pigs. Wild pigsInhabit about 40% of Australia, from subalpine grasslands to monsoonal floodplains Consumers were attracted to feral meat because it was lean and free of antibiotics
