  1. I think Spain because when Hernerdo Cortes came over to America he brought over pigs so I think somewhere in Europe.


  2. My grandfather had "wild" pigs on his farm in Oklahoma. I have a five-inch double scar on the left side of my face to prove this.

    When I was five years old, I was playing in a field my grandfather "housed" his pigs in. I had been told that the "sows" would attack and eat anyone who "messed" with the baby pigs. I was playing in the field where the mother pigs lived. When my mother called me to come in from the field, I started back, and felt that I was being chased by the mother pigs. I ran into a double strand barbed wire fence, and split the left side of my face open--from the outer edge of my left eye through my left ear. Thirty stitches were required to sew my face together.

    I am now 67, and the scar from my "imaginary" attack from the "wild pigs" is as predominant as it was two years after the "imaginary" attack.

    As far as I am concerned, the wild pigs came from my grandfather's farm!

  3. Indonesia

  4. Species of pigs. Fossil pig skeletons have been found in geological deposits dating back to the Pliocene period in Europe and Asia.  Domestic pigs of Europe and North America appear to be a mixture of two original species of wild pig: Sus scrofa, the wild boar of Europe found north of the Alps, and S. vittatus, the wild pig now only found wild in the Malay Peninsula.  Wild pigs of the same genus (Sus) but of different species to domestic pigs are found in India and Ceylon (S. cristatus).  The domestic pigs now found in China are usually considered to be S. vittatus.  Whether or not S. scrofa and S. vittatus should be considered as separate species is a difficult question because transitional races are now widespread, thus demonstrating the obvious point that the hybrids are fertile.  The scientific distinction between S. scrofa and S. vittatus is based on the shape of the lacrimal bone in the skull (located round the orbit of the eye and supporting the tear duct from the eye to the nose).  Several different subspecies of wild swine are recognised: Sus scrofa scrofa, Europe; S. s. meridionalis, Mediterranean; S. s. barbarus, North Africa; S. s. attila, Eastern Asia; and  S. s. palustris, found in the archaeological excavations of Swiss Neolithic lake dwellings.
