Did you know that wild hogs are so famously insane that people hunting them had to put crossbars on their spears to prevent them from further impaling themselves just to gore the human

yea hogs are unhinged creatures

iirc a pig will revert to hog form if left in the wilderness

It's not that an individual pig will revert to a wild hog, but the genes we selected for in domesticated pigs are so recessive, that it only takes about 3 generations to get from domesticated to wild hog. And considering their gestational period is around 4 months, and it only takes about 6 months for them to be fully grown... 3 generations can happen pretty quickly.

I remember reading that a domestic pig that escapes into the wilderness will begin growing hair and tusks quickly. Is this not true?
