Description of Species

The Russian Wild Boar is native to both Europe and Asia, but for purposes of sport hunting, they have been introduced in North, Central, and South America. ... Boars use their sharp tusks to search out food by uprooting everything from tubers and roots to small animals and snakes. Wild pigs vary greatly in size and weight. The largest boar is the giant forest hog (Hylochoerus meinertzhageni). Native to more than a dozen countries across Africa, it grows up to 6.9 feet (2.1 meters) long and measures 3.6 feet (1.1 m) tall, according to the Encyclopedia of Life. In most of Europe, males average 75–100 kg (165–220 lb) in weight, 75–80 cm (30–31 in) in shoulder height and 150 cm (59 in) in body length, whereas females average 60–80 kg (130–180 lb) in weight, 70 cm (28 in) in shoulder height and 140 cm (55 in) in body length.
