The African wild boar is the tusked, wild pig of Africa. The boar's scientific name is Phacochoerus africanus. The boar's tusks are hunted by poachers. The tusks traditionally are used as knife handles. But they also have artistic uses.
if you are talking about a actual pig than a wild boar is my guess.
the answer is a bore a wild bore HAHAHA i lol u
This question is amazing (look at category).
Pigs don't have horns.
a hog....maybe...
Domestic pigs have both hair and tusks...the tusks are removed very close to birth for the safety of humans and other pigs. The hair is generally sparse compared to wild pigs but there are some domestic breeds that are hairier than others.
The males grow tusks and on occasion so do some females.
a lion, cheetah, any large animal
i believe you are talking about tusks?
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.
unless if it were a boar or a warthog
They do. Pigs are very adaptable. Feral pigs are a big problem in some areas.
no not in a barn. only in the wild .
answer is warthogs
Incisors is the type of teeth that an elephant has commonly known as tusks
yes they do and if you ever see a pig you will be able to tell.
Primitive species of pigs (such as bush pigs and wild pigs) have sharp tusks which are used to dig up roots. These roots and other similar plants such as tubers form the foundation for a wild pig's diet. Contrary to popular belief pigs are mainly herbivorous animals and their tusks are not used in hunting prey. --------------------- I take it he question is asking why natural selection favored pigs with sharp tusks. These tusks are offensive and defensive weapons, effective tools for foraging, and likely also used in courtship display. The animals that lacked them would not have been favored by natural selection for these reasons. The animals that lacked them would have been less able to forage for food, less able to defend themselves from rivals and predators, and quite probably less attractive to the opposite sex. These factors would gradually lead to a larger ratio of pigs with pronounced tusks in the population until eventually it became a common trait for the group.
