Happy life of funny pigs in the Bahamas

On one uninhabited island in the Bahamas lives ... a family of pigs, and every year hundreds of people come here just to keep them company. Pigs run along the shore, sunbathe and swim in the warm turquoise water, often sailing a good 90 meters from the shore to greet tourists on yachts. The question of how the pigs even found their way here remains open.
