Okay, they're not on any wing here but they do deserve their own blog post as they're quite cute. In the wildlife non-reserve that Palolem is, life is teeming and screaming from everywhere here. Be that frogs, dogs, cats, butterflies, crows, myriad of insects species or pigs.
So the pigs roam around looking for food. A banana peel is tasty, as well as the seed left over from the date I've just eaten. Notable is that they are really easily scared by anything that might resemble a sudden movement. I don't blame them as humans sometimes capture them and slaughter them. It has twice happened here that we heard a pigs squeal or scream its throat out. After being captured and have all your legs tied, knowing you're going to be slaughtered, how would you respond? Would you chill and await your imminent death or scream your heart out hoping somebody will actually care that you're going to die so that someone may enjoy your flesh?
On a personal note, in a few days I'll be making my way out of here and up north. Wish me luck :)
Cute pigs. Do you find them smart?
ReplyDeleteDidn't get to play chess with any of them just yet... If they were smarter, they might have been able to devise a scheme that won't get them slaughtered by the locals for their flesh.
