 Wild
Boar Scientific name: Sus scrofa Linnaeus
Common names: Wild boar, wild hog, feral
pig, feral hog, Old World swine, razorback,
Eurasian wild boar, Russian wild boar.
Pig Identification
Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) include both feral
hogs (domestic swine that have escaped
captivity) and wild boar, native to Eurasia
but introduced to North America to
interbreed with feral hogs. Like domestic
hogs, they may be any color. Their size and
conformation depend on the breed, degree of
hybridization with wild boar, and level of
nutrition during their growing period.
Wild boar have longer legs and larger heads
with longer snouts than feral
hogs. The color of young boar is generally
reddish brown with black longitudinal
“watermelon” stripes. As the young develop,
the stripes begin to disappear and the red
changes to brown and finally to black. Both
the male feral hog and wild boar have
continuously growing tusks. Wild boar and
feral hogs hybridize freely; therefore, the
term wild pig is appropriate as a generic
term for these animals.
