Dec. 2 (UPI) -- According to the Associated Press, the number of wild boars called "super pigs" in Canada has surged in recent times, posing a threat to the local ecology.
According to reports, this "super pig" is a hybrid breed of wild boar that combines the survival skills of Eurasian wild boars with the size and high reproductive capacity of domestic pigs.

According to the report, the "super pig" is currently very likely to enter the United States south, including Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana and other northern states in the United States are waiting to prevent the invasion of "super pigs".
Brooke, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, and his colleagues recorded about 6There have been 20,000 sightings of wild boars, which have been found on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border in North Dakota through aerial investigations.
Eradicating the wild boar in the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan is "out of the question," Brooke said, though he noted that some U.S. states have been successful in eradicating the wild boar. He believes that it is imperative to have a monitoring system that can detect these wild boars as quickly as possible and then respond quickly.
