Their body is covered with long stiff hairs, long side-whiskers, a longer straighter tail, and a nape on the neck giving the European hog a razorback, sloped appearance. Additionally, the hairs of European hogs have multiple split ends. The young are born a reddish color with black longitudinal stripes. As they mature, the coat color becomes predominantly dark brown or black. The crossing of European and feral hogs often produces an offspring with some European characteristics.
Feral hogs are more muscular than domestic hogs, and have very little fat.
They have relatively poor eyesight but have a keen sense of hearing and smell. Com all rights reserved.
