are apparently descended from pigs that escaped farms way back when---like 18th-early 19th century. Pigs, whatever else you may think of them, are very smart animals. These things reverted to the wild and basically developed the old characteristics. They don't even look like modern pigs. (Old time pigs didn't either.) As one of my home health patients once said when describing a boar hunt he'd been on as a younger man, "Them things is ugly and evil!"
