Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but there's more to wild swine (also known as pigs, hogs, and boars) than meets the eye! From the petite pygmy hog Sus salvanius to the immense wild boar Sus scrofa, swine are fascinating animals.
While each species has its own distinctive look, behavior, and region, they share many traits: strength, resourcefulness, and intelligence. All swine have that familiar piggy look: small eyes, expressive ears, and a squared-off snout for digging. They also have excellent senses of smell and hearing and communicate with one another using a variety of grunts, squeaks, and chirrups.
