Looks like the ones I've been killing for 30 years. I do know they will eat women and children.

They have been here for years. Just the media making a big deal out of nothing AGAIN. I don't know how true it is but have heard some say that if there hair has split ends then it is a russian or has russian in it. I have seen split ends on hogs plenty of times but don't pay that much attention. Here is a russian bar came from the Suwannee River.

Interesting. But still, anyone seen them "wild" in central or south Florida? The Pics I have are from North Florida and the one you shared is also north. I don't pay attention to media that much. The reason I'm interested in the topic is for the impact to deer and other game populations if this type of hogs are more aggressive/destructive than the already destructive wild hogs.

I thought the split ends just meant they needed a new shampoo and conditioner!

My nephew works for FWC and he's killed some Russian-looking hogs out at Tenoroc. They have been told to shoot any hogs they see and just leave them for the buzzards.

I wonder if the state has allowed russian boars to be imported to some of these exotic ranches in the central and south. If so, then it is almost assured that the interbredding has taken place.
