Domestication Never Removed the Wild Boar. It Switched It Off

💰 Support the channel: USDT TRC20: TBebXWjFeAJHfArVsJvt8N6Yv5rvn4GXP7 Trappers in the American South regularly pull wild, tusked, bristled hogs out of the brush with a numbered pink farm tag still in one ear. That is the whole story of this animal in one image. Domestication never deleted the wild boar inside the pig, it only switched it off, and when a farm pig gets loose the switches start flipping back. In this video: the rostral bone that turns the snout into a digging blade, the tusks that sharpen themselves every time the animal chews, the slab of gristle a male grows across his own shoulders, the farrowing nest no other hoofed animal builds, how 6 million feral hogs ended up across 38 states after a Spanish landing in 1539 and a private game preserve in 1912, and why the wild boars of Bavaria are still radioactive when Chernobyl is not the reason. 👍 Subscribe for new wildlife documentaries every week. #wildboar #wildpig #feralhogs #feralswine #wildlife #wildlifedocumentary #animalfacts #texashogs #invasivespecies #animalbehavior #naturedocumentary #pigs #europeanwildlife #hogs #natureeducation
