boars are like hundreds of lbs, and they are vicious, and not a natural prey item in usa, they are from eurasia, where the equally dangerous wild boar is native. apparently there is a distinction between a boar and a pig, the domestical feral pig is what the usa has an invasive, the eurasian boar is a different species.

Not boars, tho.
Wolves prefer not to fuck with adult boars.
Even when European lions were still around, they’d rather go for something else over a boar. Even bear cubs or baby mammoths, with all the risks involved.
Without some metal animal like Komodo dragons, it falls to humans to keep them in check.

Humans with guns and preferably a helicopter.

Good luck spotting and hitting boar from a helicopter without like extensive thermal vision and and some massive minigun and even then it’s gonna be hard.
Sneaky fuckers running in the undergrowth.
Remember they got Bobby as well

Doesn’t really assuade me from my point… Especially when those are in Texas, where the annoying undergrowth hogs have an easy time hiding in doesn’t exist to the extent it does in other places.
