[GPGT] Wild boar with blue meat spotted in US

Ranchers in Northern California shot a wild pig and ended up finding its meat surrounded by Smurf-blue fat.

A user on Imgur posted photos and a short explanation of the bizarre discovery at their in-laws’ Morgan Hill ranch. The couple cut open the pig, drained most of the blood and were startled to see fluorescent blue fat peeking out of the incision.

User GlendilTEK said the ranchers are aware blue pigmentation could be caused by copper poisoning, but there are only old mercury mine shafts near the property. Other wild pigs that were shot by the couple did not have neon blue fat.

Samples of the fat were sent off to UC Davis for testing.

A rancher in Morgan Hill, California, killed the wild pig and, when it was cut open for butchering, found that the bacon was makin’ an eerie glow. Specifically, the boar’s fat was a fluorescent blue, but the meat, blood, skin and everything was whatever color a boar’s insides are supposed to be.

One thought is copper poisoning, but there are no copper mines nearby and no other boars have ever been found there with fluorescent blue innards. Samples were sent to UC Davis to determine if it’s a bacterial infection or something else.

What do you think? Is nature trying to remind us that color really doesn’t matter?

I watched on TV and it said that Horseshoe Crab has blue blood. Never seen anyone eating Horsheshoe crab before, I wonder if this blue coloring has anything to do with it? This is indeed strange.

Cheers!
