razorback

Feral pig type

A razorback is a feral pig with a ridge of stiff bristles along its spine, common in the American South.

The name evokes the animal's lean, half-wild appearance.

Razorback also describes any sharp-ridged topography: a razorback ridge.

The term is perhaps best known as the mascot of the University of Arkansas athletic teams.
