Best Answer

Pigs originally resided in parts of Europe and Asia, and were domesticated as early as 9000 years ago. Since then, humans have kept pigs as livestock and companion animals and wherever people have moved to, they have taken pigs along. Today, wild and feral pigs live all around the world, and can even be found on many remote Pacific islands. Their resourcefulness and adaptability means they thrive in a range of habitats, including:

  • Grasslands
  • Wetlands
  • Forests
  • Savanna
