Aussie boars

Pigs are found threw out Australia but they do differ depending on where they are. Our Northern Territory has the some of the biggest pigs in the country, mainly because the Territory is so big and vast that some pigs never see a human in their life time, there fore they have a less chance of being hunted. They also have no known preditors (except the occasional croc) to hunt them where in Europe and North America they have to contend with everything from wolf packs to mountain lions and bears.
Our pigs live in all areas from swamps and flood plains to mountains and the high country. Pigs in the high country tend to grow large as well, more muscle than fat.
We also have whot we call "razorbacks", thy have a streak of hair that stands up on their backs.
