"I'm not sure if there are fluorescent green pigs elsewhere in the world, but so far, in the photos available in the field, I have never seen such pigs, whose whole bodies can glow green in the dark," Wu said.
Hell, Oregon did that with ducks years ago.:D

Well, I think what they are saying is that they didn't find any evidence of anyone from the Donner family resorting to cannabalism. They were actually camped about 6 miles away from the main group due to a broken axle.
There are still signs of cannabalism at the other site, I believe. Now, why the whole expedition got called the "Donner party" I don't know. Maybe they were the biggest family in the group, or the leaders, or something.
