wild boar
Untamed tusked pig
A wild boar is the undomesticated ancestor of the pig, native to Eurasia and North Africa.
Wild boars have coarse dark hair, prominent tusks, and a reputation for aggression when cornered.
They've been introduced to the Americas, where they're often called feral hogs or wild pigs and considered invasive pests: Wild boar have been tearing up the fields.
