Razorback
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Ferral Swine are often refered to as Razorback's. Razorbacks are not a naturaly occuring wild animal, but rather domestic hogs , thru accident or by design, that have been released into the wild.
Know a Razorback by the raised bristly ridge of corse hair running the length of it's body, along it's back. These animals are capable surviving in any environment that would furnish them with organic matter to eat. Flora to Fauna, living or dead, the ferral pig can and will attempt to eat anything. Great caution should be excercised if ever confronted by one of the beasts, they are extreamly fast and powerful, and may attack with sharp tusks if provoked. Once common in the southern United States, the advent of wire fencing as well as modern feed-lot facilities have greatly curtailed the spread of the Razorback in the ecosystem .
The Razorback is also the official mascot of the University of Arkansas at Fayettville. " Go Pigs, SOUIEEEEE' "
