Chasing Sneaky Wild Hogs - Rafael Reyna

Pigs aren't particularly subtle animals. They're often huge, they squeal loudly, and they like to wallow in the mud. Yet, they proved elusive to National Geographic explorer and hog researcher Rafael Reyna, who has been trying to radio collar wild hogs in Uganda's Kibale National Park. Reyna explains that they're very smart and very afraid of people, as they're being aggressively hunted by locals for food. Reyna says that it's tough to tell hungry people not to poach wild animals, but he's working to create a program that could help feed families and let the hogs live in harmony.
