A wild boar (Sus scrofa), shown here in an animal sanctuary, the wild ancestor of the domestic pig. Boars are native across much of Central Europe, the Mediterranean Region and much of Asia. Wild boars almost always have thick, short bristly coats ranging in colour from brown through grey to black.Photo credit: Richard Bartz
