wild pig
Untamed forest hog
Wild pig refers to any pig living in an undomesticated state—either a true wild species like the Eurasian boar or a feral domestic pig that has returned to the wild.
In North America, wild pigs are invasive and destructive, rooting up crops and spreading disease: Wild pigs have become a serious problem across the South.
Also called wild boar or wild hog.
