'Uninhabited' Has Never Seemed So Full Of Life

Faq?
They're pigs, they'll eat just about anything. They can be found snacking on the fruits and natural vegetation of the island, but they're more than willing to eat anything you'll offer right out of your hand.
We actually don't know since the island is uninhabited and no formal story has stuck as to how they go there.
The full excursion usually takes 4-5 hours with other islands being added to the trip their and back to keep things fun and interesting.
