It is considered as the ''“National hog of India”'' respectively. The Indian boar differs from its [[Sus scrofa scrofa|European counterpart]] by its large mane which runs in a crest along its back from its head to lower body, larger, more sharply featured and straighter skull, its smaller, sharper ears and overall lighter build. It is taller and more sparsely haired than the European form, though its back bristles are much more developed. The tail is also more tufted, and the cheeks hairier. ==Related pages== * [[Wild boar]] ==References== {{Commons category|Sus scrofa cristatus|''Sus scrofa cristatus''}} {{Reflist}} {{taxonbar|from=Q3978213}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Pigs]] [[Category:Domesticated animals]] [[Category:National symbols of India]] [[Category:Madhya Pradesh]] [[Category:Animals of India]] [[Category:Mammals of Asia]] {{Biology-
