No, but domestic pigs that people raise and eat today were originally bred from the wild boar. Wild boar is a wild pig that lives off the land– an omnivore, feeding on just about anything edible, especially roots, grass, fallen fruits, nuts, acorns and other forage, all of which contribute to the unique taste of their (lean) meat.   Even though wild boar are related to the domestic pig, they do not taste the same. Their rich, unique flavor is more a cross between pork and beef. Its flesh is a bit darker and redder with a more intense flavor. Some people describe it as nutty and slightly sweet, while others say that it has natural, earthy flavors with nutty notes. Quite honestly, the flavor of wild boar can vary based on its unique diet of what it forages. Also, wild boar meat is significantly leaner than pork.
