Feral hogs can be found most anywhere. There are many species of true wild hogs, found in many regions, Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. But in many countries, domestic hogs released by their owners or escapees, will often form herds, and within a few generations, begin to revert back to their wild boar ancestor state. Tusks get longer, the hair grows course and darker, even the snout begins to get more pronounced as in the true wild boar. In the United States, these feral hogs have become a real problem, destroying crops, and damaging property. Texas, the Carolinas, Florida, Louisiana and other states have open hunting season on these animals, known as "razorbacks", but the problem persists, as hogs are very intelligent animals, and change their habits when threatened.
