Default Re: Feral Hogs

I think epigenetic effects have always been understood in the sense of the development of the fetus being affected by the environment of the womb. What appears to be happening here is the Wild environment of the Mother is impacting her womb's environment and thus the development of the piglet fetus. The first generation piglets are born with feral characteristics.
