What does a wild boar look like?

[fishhead]

Last night on the Discovery Channel they had a special on the vikings. ###In it they covered how the vikings destroyed the forrest of Iceland by introducing various domestic animals. ###One of the animals on the film was a big furry pig with a straight tail.

Fishhead,

"Wild boar" in North America can vary pretty widely. ###Most of the books will tell you that they're generally a cross between the Russian boar, an ugly black furred creature with a fairly straight tail, and domestic pigs which went feral. ###As a result, you get all the different colors, sizes, and shapes... from the 250 lb tuskers around Hollister, to that 1000 behemoth from Texas.

First time I saw wild pigs in CA, I thought they were black calves, running over a ridge with their tails straight up in the air. ###

They look alot like Rosie O'donnell. Only the pigs have less hair and don't weigh as much. ### ### Scott

Dont forget, they dont smell as bad and dont eat as much as rosy

I've heard that pigs with 4 legs don't hate gun owners as much as Rosie does. - just a rumor-

My little brother sent me a copy of a story off of Newsmax that stated the fall of K-mart might be due to Rosies stand on firearm and ammunition sales.

They aren't as mean as Rosie, either.

I think Rosie would scare the hair off of the ugliest hog. And make his Tusks fall out. I bet K-mart wishes they would have picked Tom Selleck as a spokesman. He could have been standing under the K-Mart sign with a rifle in his hands talking about how K-Mart supports outdoorsman & hunter education.
