Everything about Wild Pigs Of The Philippines totally explained
== Wild pigs in the Philippines ==
Although the
Philippines, unlike its
Southeast Asian neighbors, doesn't have a native population (or endemic
subspecies) of the widely distributed Eurasian Wild
Boar (
Sus scrofa), the
species from which
domestic pigs (
S. s. domesticus or
S. domesticus) are descended, it does have at least three species of
endemic wild
pigs, and one endemic subspecies. This makes the Philippines unique in having the largest number of "endemic suids" (
Suidae Family) after
Indonesia (with at least three species, and five subspecies that are endemic of its own). Significantly, there have been reports of two separate populations of unstudied wild pig species on the islands of
Tawi-Tawi (near
Sabah,
Malaysia) and
Tablas (in the central Philippines).
