Caption Monkey 63: Swimming Pigs of the Caribbean


Photo: Vince Lauro

Pigs may never fly, but they certainly can swim! Vince Lauro won National Geographic Traveler's Great Outdoors Photo Contest with this awesome photo of the Caribbean swimming pig. From the Intelligent Travel blog:

As the first mate on a 118-foot motor yacht, Vince Lauro has the opportunity to continuously travel across the Caribbean. This photograph was taken near a small key famous for the "swimming pigs." A colony of pigs lives on the key, and they often swim near visiting boats. To capture this clear image Lauro said, "I had to lure this pig into an undisturbed area with its favorite food: fresh watermelon."

Well into his 5th daiquiri, an aged Hemingway lost his audience as he recounted getting dragged far out to sea by a Cuban Water Pig. "He was eighteen feet from snout to tail."

Genetic engineering has ALMOST solved all the problems for those bacon-loving Kosher Jews of America. He's a top dweller, and he's seafood ... but someone's got to figure out how to fix the split hooves.

I've been working on these all day but i still can't come up with better than "Oikers Away!!"

Congrats Lisa G. Your Kung Fu is much powerful.

in the event of a shipwreck immediately toss your survival pig into the ocean so it will have that great brine taste by the time you swim to a deserted island.
