    wow


    Thanks, I had always seen it both ways and tried to find which was correct but it appears I was mistaken. Also, you are correct about the pigs.

    I got my little Cochinos at the USARK auction last summer in Myrtle Beach. He doesn't like to hold still for photos...







    Here is some more info on Cayos Los Cochinos, if anyone is interested:
