The Russian Boar, wild boar is also known as wild swine, common wild pig, Eurasian wild pig, or simply wild pig, is a suid native to much of Eurasia and North Africa, and has been introduced to the Americas and Oceania.
The species is now one of the widest-ranging mammals in the world, as well as the most widespread suiform.
The Russian Boar or wild boar is a bulky, massively built suid with short and relatively thin legs. The trunk is short and robust, while the hindquarters are comparatively underdeveloped.
The region behind the shoulder blades rises into a hump and the neck is short and thick to the point of being nearly immobile. The animal’s head is very large, taking up to one-third of the body’s entire length.
The structure of the Russian boar head is well suited for digging. The head acts as a plough, while the powerful neck muscles allow the animal to upturn considerable amounts of soil. It is capable of digging 3.1–3.9 in. into frozen ground and can upturn rocks weighing 88–110 lb.
