Hello All,
Is there any way to distinguish between wild boar and domestic pig based on the size or morphology of male canines? I feel like I should know the answer to this, but I don't! The references I have available on distinguishing wild and domestic pigs don't seem to cover the canine teeth - perhaps there is just too much variation?
Many thanks,
Julia
