On the Bucket List: Swimming with Pigs in the Bahamas

Pigs aren’t usually considered the cuddliest of creatures, but when they’re swimming in the ocean—as opposed to splashing in the mud—they’re downright adorable.

Want to practice your backstroke alongside Wilber? Head down to “pig beach” on Big Major Cay in the Bahaman island of Exuma, and dive right into the crystal-clear waters alongside the swine. It’s not a new tourist attraction, but it’s certainly one for the bucket list.

No plans for a trip to the Bahamas? Scroll through the photos below—all taken near Grand Isle Resort & Spa—for a mental vacation, because Friday’s still a day away.

And if you prefer your pigs to fly (well, kinda), head over to The New York Times website for gratuitous pictures of piglets diving off a bridge in China.
