The point I am making is, What number are those observations you cited? You know, one, two, three, or thousands, as those behaviors occur in huge numbers, as I mentioned, by every healthy female.



A friend and I were talking yesterday, on ways to get folks to grasp concepts that are hard to grasp. In a case like this we came up with some funny analogies. So please laugh, If an alien caught you swimming in the ocean then took you and put in in a fish tank, would that work? The truth is, tens of thousands of people swim in the ocean, but that does not make them aquatic.



If I would theorize about eastern hogs and western hogs, I would come up with something a bit different then you. I would think that easterns are adapted to soils that are softer and loose. More so then westerns. As their bodies are not so adapted for hard burrowing. I will throw you a curveball. I think their ability to utilize soft soils is more about predators then the ability to burrow.



On one site I look at, its soft soils and the two most dominate species are hogs and mohaves, which both have a physical protection against predators. On the other site, its more hard soils and such species as gophersnakes, longnose, etc, are dominate as they can utilize hard ground as a protection against predators. Anyway, have a great day.
