The weird thing about pigs is that a domestic pig can turn
into a feral pig after a short time in the wild. It's a
physical change on a genetic level. How strange is that?
 

  about as credible as a stray spaniel turning into a
wolf,  and those feral chickens outside your condo turning
into vultures.

I'd love to know where he comes up with these ideas (other than
random Youtube videos).

He seems unaware if a domestic pig gets loose, it breeds with wild
ones so of course it waters down the domestic genomes over time.
It's not rocket science to see that.  Happens all the time.

 
He is talking about a particular domestic pig turning feral.  What
does that have to do with breeding?  It is the same pig, not
offspring.
 
If you started breeding with feral men, would you turn feral?

" It's a physical change on a genetic level. How strange is that"

That's what I was addressing.  It's saying the genetics shift during
the pig's own lifetime.  It may have just been sloppy wording?  The
reality is the behavior may shift, but not the genetics until after
interbreeding and then it's the next generation affected by the influx
of feral breeds.
