Guest Eamon.Mc Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Watched a documentary about wild boar, ferral pig call it what you wish but it was saying tha in time a pig that was kept in captivity will grow thick hair and tusks and will look like a wild pig if released or escapes into the wild.

Shanedog 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It doesn't take many generations for a pig to return to the feral state. The feral pig doesn't turn into a russian boar though, no matter how long its been living down the back paddock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
