Perhaps you meant javelina rather than wild boar. Javelina are
native to North and South America. They are similar to wild boar,
but because of anatomical differences they are classified in a family
of their own, the Tayassuidae Family. Wild boar are members of the
Suidae Family and are native to Europe, Asia and Africa.
