Very much so. Feral pigs in Australia are a huge ecological disaster, as they are omnivores that eat both native plants and native animals, particularly the eggs of birds and reptiles. They have been known to eat the chicks of birds as well. They frequently destroy the habitat of native animals because they trample it and eat the vegetation there.
