These pigs really know to enjoy in the charms of summer

On the beaches of Big Major Spot Island, the Bahamas, a family of brown and pink boars and piglets live freely on the sandy white beaches and swim in the tropical surf

“We were in the southern Bahamas to photograph oceanic white-tip sharks,” says the 33-year-old. “Our captain, Jim Abernethy, had heard that there were pigs on Big Major so we decided to go and check it out” same thing like Copper Figure Art

“Upon approaching the white sandy beach, it is easy to spot the pigs - both pink and dark brown - laying in the sand”

“Because locals bring food, the pigs will run into the water and actually swim out to the oncoming boats, as if to greet them individually”

“Nadine Umbscheiden, one of the photographers, was so at ease with them,” reveals Eric

Spending several hours photographing and playing with the pigs, Eric and his team even managed to join them for a swim
