Big Major Cay a/k/a "Pig Island" is an uninhabited (at least by humans) island in the Bahamas. It is, however, the home to a colony of swimming pigs. The porkers enjoy cavorting in the water and will eagerly paddle out to boats for handouts.
No one is sure how the colony started, but the first hogs there were probably either left on the island by sailors for a future source of food or were the survivors of a shipwreck.
