Boars adapt to various habitats as long as there is a reliable source of water. If they have a weakness, it is a low tolerance for heat. A lot of the wild hogs in Arkansas are found in swampy terrain. Wild boars are intelligent, equipped with keen senses, swift, wary, easily agitated, and aggressive when cornered.
They can move thirty-five miles per hour and are constantly on the move, even when feeding. Problems with wild hogs are numerous. They uproot plants and will eat anything they can catch, including young mammals. They destroy terrestrial and aquatic vegetation, ruin water holes used by other wildlife, and contribute to erosion and siltation, which can degrade water quality.
They can transmit brucellosis and other diseases to domestic animals. There have been cases in Arkansas of feral hogs transmitting brucellosis and trichinosis to humans. Despite the problems hogs cause, they provide great hunting opportunities for the expert hunter.
There are still wild hogs roaming free on Arkansas Game and Fish and federal hunting lands. Foti, Thomas, and Gerald Hanson. Arkansas and the Land.

One of the more notable pieces of information presented in Industries' development update was that Halo Infinite will be introducing the Razorback , a vehicle new to the Halo series. There has yet to be any footage of the Razorback in Halo Infinite , but some concept art and 's description of the Razorback as the "spacious and robust cousin" of the Warthog definitely indicates there's a comparison to be made to the franchise's hallmark vehicle, but they will differ in a few key ways.
Perhaps the most obvious difference between the two armored rides is that the Razorback looks to be a little larger in size than the classic Halo vehicle. The increased size also seems to indicate it has more legroom, too. Halo's Warthog generally allows three people to ride at once—one driver, one shotgun passenger, and one gunner. It's not exactly ideal for getting loads of soldiers around the map quickly, and the Razorback seems to be stepping in to fill that purpose.
However, it's worth noting that a model of the Warthog that is similar in function to the Razorback does already exist. Almost one fourth of all feral hog attacks reported in the U. In a battle against the European wild hog and African warthog, who would win? Inquiring minds want to know! I have often wondered the answer to this question myself.
Both feral hogs and warthogs are big and mean and play to win, looking at you like you owe them money when encountered on their home turf. Both feral hogs and warthogs are considered to be from the wild pig family, just different species from different parts of the world.
The warthog is a medium sized hog found across most of sub-Saharan Africa, their native homeland. They have a large head compared to the rest of their body and both males and females have tusks and large ones at that. In comparison, a feral hog has European origins and was brought to the United States by the Spaniards looking to settle land way back in the s.
They can grow very large in the wild and reproduce rapidly. Wild boars develop a thick shoulder plate of hard tissue which is found in all boars three years and older. The purpose of this shield is to protect vital organs during interspecies quarrels with other boars in the pursuit of breeding opportunities with sows in estrus.
