Sus Scrofa

The latin name of the animal i got at the beginning of the anatomy project was Sus Scrofa, which is known as the wild boar/pig in english. For those of you who don't know what a wild boar is, just simply picture a furry pig with tusks. So to get a better idea of what a wild boar actually looks like (and yes I could just imagine a pig with tusks) I've done a little image searching and this is what I found:
