Wild boar swimming Almost every animal in Sunderban need to cross the rivers to move from one island to another in search of food or shelter and thus, it&rsquo;s very important for them to be good swimmers! Adaptation is the key to survival in this extremely hostile environment. <br />

  1. That is so interesting, I did not even know they could swim :) Posted 7 years ago
  2. PS: please double-check the species. Shouldn't this be an Indian Boar? Posted 7 years ago

Razorback and wild hog are American colloquialisms, loosely applied to any type of feral domestic pig, wild boar or cross in North America. Pure wild boar are sometimes called "Russian boar" or "Russian razorbacks". The term "razorback" has also appeared in Australia, to describe such animals there.
