Boar vs Hog
野猪和猪是最常见的两个动物,尤其是在含义方面。野猪只是野猪,但猪的名字被用来引用家用猪以及其他几只野生动物,称为巨型森林猪和红河猪。因此,普通人很容易对猪感到困惑。此外,这两只野猪很容易为任何人区分开,并了解它们与野猪的差异。因此,在进入红河和巨大的森林猪之前,应解决有关猪和野猪的困惑。本文分别讨论了猪和野猪,然后对其特征进行了明智的比较,以突出它们之间的差异。
Hog
Hog is one of the common names used to refer the domestic pig,Sus scrofa domesticus. The ancestors of the domesticated pigs are the wild boars, but some scientists consider hogs as a separate species. The history of their domestication dates back to 13,000 BC with the civilisation of humans around the Tigris river basin. There are many breeds of hogs in different places of the world today, mostly raised for meat and sometimes as pets. Additionally, there are feral populations of hogs in New Zealand and Australia. Interestingly, hogs could be easily trained, as they are intelligent animals. Hogs are usually pink in colour with a sparse distribution of fur except in certain woolly boar crossbreeds. The fat layer beneath the skin is very thick because they do not get to exercise their bodies much like their wild relatives. There are many ways of processing hogs for human consumption as a protein source including pork, ham, sausage, bacon, and gammon. Since they have a great value as a protein source, the size of the animal would certainly matter for the pig farmers. The usual weight of a hog could be around 300 kilograms in many breeds.
Boar
Boar,Sus scrofa, is one of the ten species of pigs and usually it is referred as wild boar. Their natural distribution is predominant in Asia, but with introductions to other parts of the world, wild boar is a very common animal in almost everywhere. They have a large head and relatively short limbs compared to their body size. Their body varies from 120 to 180 centimetres in length, and the height is only 10 centimetres less than a metre. The body weight could vary from 50 to 90 kilograms. The fur of wild boar consists of stiff bristles and fine hairs, and the colouration is dark grey, brown, or black. The adult males are solitary, but the females live with the family units containing over 15 individuals in each usually. They are nocturnal and serious pests of agricultural crops, especially in South Asia.
What is the difference between Hog and Boar? • Hogs are domesticated swine while boar is usually wild. • Hogs are found throughout the world via introductions, whereas the natural distribution of wild boar is in Europe and Asia only. • Wild boar is dark in colourations, whereas hog comes in many different colours according to the breed. • The hog breeds are much larger than wild boar. • Boar has a large head and a small body, while hog has a big head with an enormous body. • Hogs are docked, and the canines are removed to prevent the aggressiveness, but no such thing could be done on wild boars. • Wild boar has a thicker cover of fur compared to the domesticated hogs. |
