Razorback hogs, also known as feral hogs or wild boars, are wild pigs that are known for their sharp, curved tusks and bristly fur. These animals are found throughout the United States and are often considered a nuisance because of their destructive habits. Some synonyms for the term "razorback hog" include wild pig, boar, sow, barrow, and shoat. While these terms generally refer to the same animal, they may have slight variations in meaning. For example, a shoat is a young pig that has not yet reached maturity, while a boar is a male pig that has tusks. Regardless of the terminology used, the presence of these animals can pose a significant threat to both agriculture and wildlife habitats.
