wild hog
Untamed forest pig
A wild hog is a feral pig or wild boar—any member of the pig family living outside domestication.
In North America, wild hogs descend from escaped domestic pigs or imported European boars, now widespread and destructive to crops and ecosystems: Wild hogs have torn up the whole field.
They're hunted as both sport and pest control.
