Social media videos have also documented the pigs in the area.<\/p>\n
On Monday, roughly a dozen pigs, including two older mothers and several piglets, were seen foraging in a parking lot at Power Integrations.<\/p>\n
Employees said sightings of wildlife are not uncommon, but the pigs have been an unusual presence.<\/p>\n
“We do see, wild turkeys once in a while – but this is something new. I thought someone might have deliberately left them to take care of the grass. And this is the first time we see wildlife damaging the property,” Shankar said.<\/p>\n
Workers at the business park said they have noticed the animals only within the last few days, but that the pigs have caused substantial damage in a short period of time.<\/p>\n

And, I said, ‘that’s unusual’. And, so I had on my phone, put it on telephoto and started walking, getting up close to them, but not too close,” Clark said.<\/p>\n MORE: Invasive wild boars population rising in Bay Area with reports of more ‘scary’ sightings, damage<\/a><\/p>\n Wild pigs have been a recurring issue in San Jose.
