By definition they're a semi-wild hog of the Southeast U.S., having a narrow body with a ridged back. Tusk is well fed.

If I remember correctly, they are native to Europe and Asia and were brought to this country by early explorers and settlers.

The original "Mike" of LSU fame came from the Little Rock zoo. He was only a year old when he arrived at LSU and he was great.

So when will the Muslims that attend the school file a complaint because you have a swine for a mascot??

And I don't think it was inbreeding or line breeding that caused health issues with Ugas in the past. It probably the EB in general. Majority are walking vet bills just waiting to happen.
