Once upon a time, a long time ago, I believe it was clear back On September 6th of this past year, I broke the story and the secrets of the Arctic Polar Pig. At first glance, they are a common pig, however these pigs have history. Through the generations they have adapted to the environment of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. These pigs were introduced by accident to the area that they now inhabit by the early Russian traders that visited Alaska. Being carried onboard the trading vessels as a fresh food supply. Although, their existence was known only by a few biologists, this secret remained hidden in the volumes of survey work conducted in the Arctic for many years.

It now appears that the continued existence of the Arctic Polar Pig is in jeopardy and we must face reality that they may become extinct in the near future. In recent months, and even within the past few days an aerial survey indicates that Global Warming is having a drastic effect on their environment. Although, our glaciers will withstand several more years of Global Warming before they disappear, it is likely that the Arctic snow cover will not withstand the warming trend. The melting point of snow is much lower than ice, consequently large areas of their refuge is commencing the onslaught of meltdown. A pig is not known to be adaptable to swimming for long periods of time, the likelihood of their survival during the meltdown period is not optimistic. During the last monthly survey period, the following picture was taken of Kabuki Herd of Arctic Polar Pigs, their survival rate is unknown at this time. The Global Warming trend needs to be reversed immediately in order to protect the Arctic Polar Pig.
