About
The Eurasian wild boar is a sturdy, widespread wild pig that stands roughly waist-high to an adult human.
Wild boars are the direct ancestors of domestic farm pigs, though modern domestic breeds are often fattened to much heavier weights. Males are consistently larger than females, and boars living in colder northern climates often grow much bigger than those in warmer regions. Despite their stocky build and short legs, their dense muscle lets them sprint and jump over obstacles with surprising speed.
From Wikipedia
The wild boar, also known as the wild swine, common wild pig, Eurasian wild pig, or simply wild pig, is a suid native to much of Eurasia and North Africa and has been introduced to the Americas and Oceania. The species is now one of the widest-ranging mammals in the world as well as the most widespread suiform.
