Information about the Eurasian Wild Boar:

The Eurasian Wild Boar, called razorbacks or European Boar in the US, are species of pig descended from domestic pigs. They are very widespread throughout much of Europe, Asia, Australia and several islands, including the Hawaiian Archipelago. Because they are non-native to most of their range, they are often considered invasive species and can be very damaging to the plants and other animals in that ecosystem. The size of these animals can vary greatly, depending on location, diet and environment. While they rarely grow larger than 200 pounds, there have been individuals weighing much more than that - weighing over 400 pounds. An unconfirmed report from Russia have one being killed that weighed over an astonishing 700 pounds. They are social animals are are commonly found in groups of several individuals. They have recently been re-introduced into areas where they had been eliminated, such as Great Britain, where they have established permanent populations.
