KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA.  -  Three  wild pigs - a mother and her two offspring - root for food in the grass near the NASA News Center at KSC.  Feral pigs were introduced to Florida in the 1500s and are now found statewide in wooded areas close to water. The pigs have flourished in the environs around KSC, which shares a border with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, without many predators other than panthers and humans.  Pigs are omnivores, foraging on the ground and rooting just beneath the surface, which damages the groundcover. Wild pigs eat almost anything that has nutritional value, including tubers, roots, shoots, acorns, fruits, berries, earthworms, amphibians, reptiles and rodents. Appearance is similar to domestic hogs, but leaner, with a longer, narrower head and a coarser, denser coat.  Females may have two litters per year.  The piglets are weaned in a few weeks but remain with the mother for several months. KSC-04pd1287
