Pigs belong to the family Suidae, which also includes warthogs and babirusas. More general than that, pigs belong to the order Artiodactyla, which contains all even-toed ungulates. More general than that, pigs belong to the infraclass Eutheria, which contains all placental mammals.

The family for Russian Wild Pigs (often referred to as Russian Boars) is Suidae. The term Boar actually refers to sex (male) as opposed to a species but the use of Boar is a common reference albeit incorrect.
