A mammal of the Suidae family in the order Artiodactyla (illustration). It is also called the European boar or Eurasian wild boar. It is widely distributed in Europe and Asia, and was introduced to North America for hunting purposes and has become established there. It lives in forests and shrubs from plains to altitudes of 4000m. It is also said to be the ancestor of pigs. Japanese wild boars are generally divided into two subspecies: the Japanese wild boar S. s . leucomystax found in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and the Ryukyu wild boar S. s . riukiuanus found on Amami Oshima and Okinawa.
