Best Answer

The term hog refers to a large domestic pig. All domestic swine are true pigs from the old world. A peccary is a similar looking animal which is native to the new world. Pigs have tails and tusks while peccaries lack these. Pigs and peccaries last shared a common ancestor between 50-37 million years ago.

What is the difference between a camera hog and a camera ham?

A camera hog "steals the spotlight" from others, while a camera ham is a very over-enthusiastic model for the camera, loves the attention, and loves to be photographed. A camera ham doesn't mind sharing the spotlight. And to think I thought a camera ham was a camera hog that had been "cured". ;-) Micron
