Ordinary warthogs
Phacochoerus africanus
Common Wart-hog
Common warthogs, or warthogs, are found mainly in Africa, tropical rainforests and deserts beyond North Africa. They are one of the few animals in the world that can survive in an environment with only a little water. It can survive at high temperatures that exceed room temperature by much.
Adult common warthogs have a slightly different body color, except for a gray mane on the back and cheeks, the hair on the body is very sparse. The head occupies about one-third of the body and has two pairs of warts and fangs, with male fangs longer than the mother's. The biggest difference is that males have two pairs of warts (which help protect the eyes when digging for food), while females have only one pair of warts, not the one near the mouth.
Desert warthogs
Phacochoerus aethiopicus
Desert Warthog
Desert warthog, also known as desert warthog, is mainly distributed in northern Kenya, Somalia, Eritrea in Africa, and May also exist in Ethiopia. Active during the day, feeds mainly on plants, and also eats insects or carrion when food is scarce.
Desert warthogs are robust, about 15 cm long and weigh about 75 kg, with larger males. The top of the head and the back of the ridge have denser long hairs.
Obayashi pigs
Hylochoerus meinertzhageni
Giant Forest Hog
The Great Forest Pig, also known as the Giant Forest Pig, is distributed in West and Central Africa, inhabiting forests and at the junction of forest and grassland. Because large forest pigs cannot adapt to low humidity or long-term exposure to sunlight, they are rarely distributed in arid areas. Eats mainly plants but sometimes also eats carrion.

Wild Boar
The wild boar, or wild boar, was once widely distributed in Eurasia and North Africa, west to Spain and Morocco, east to Japan, north to Northern Europe and Siberia, and south to Indonesia, India and Sudan. The habitat spans temperate and tropical zones, from semi-arid climates to tropical rainforests, temperate woodlands, grasslands, etc., and often breaks into agricultural land to forage, but it is not found in extremely arid, extremely high altitudes, and extremely cold areas. In addition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Gobi Desert, they are widely distributed in China.
The average body length of wild boar is 1.5-2 meters (excluding tail length), the shoulder height is about 90 cm, the weight is 90-200 kg, and the size of wild boars living in different regions is also different. In some areas, wild boars can weigh more than 200 kilograms, and wild boars from southern China and the Russian Far East even weigh nearly 400 kilograms.
Their food sources are extensive, including grasses, fruits, nuts, roots, insects, bird eggs, rats, carrion, and even hares and deer cubs.
Domestic pigs are subspecies of wild boar formed by human domestication, which can breed the next generation with reproductive ability when mated with each other. In appearance, domestic pigs have very short fangs and wild boars have obvious long fangs.
Comparison of the skeletons of domestic pigs with wild boars
The second half of the long meat of domestic pigs accounts for more than 75% of the body, and the front and rear bodies of wild boars account for half of each. If the domestic pig is released in the wild, after just a few generations of natural selection, it will begin to produce the phenomenon of return to the ancestors, and gradually return to the size of the wild boar.
Hime Pig
Porcula salvania
Pygmy Hog
Also known as pygmy pigs, ji pigs once spread throughout the high-humid grasslands of India, Nepal and Bhutan. However, human activities have greatly destroyed the natural habitat of pygmy pigs and are currently only distributed in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. Staple foods are grass roots, insects, mouse species and small reptiles.
The heliopod is the smallest of the pig family, with a body length of 55-71 cm and a shoulder height of 20-30 cm. The body is brownish-black, and the piglets are born pinkish-gray, then turn brown on a brown background with yellow stripes. The fangs of the upper mouth of an adult male stick out of the lips.
