Created By: Male Boar & Female Pig
Unlike other hybrids, boars and pigs have mated with each other off and on for hundreds of years. This is likely due to being kept near each other or through importing boars into regions where wild or domesticated pigs were common. Wild Boars and Pigs are quite common in Europe, so we have seen a lot of pig/boar hybrids in the wild there.
We also create them by having a male boar mate with a Tamworth Sow to produce a hybrid animal species that looks very similar to those from the past. This was how the Iron Age Pig developed its name, connecting the species to the time period. They are incredibly hard to domesticate, due to their aggressive nature. Thus, they’re more often used for hunting in the wild.
