Wild pigs of the Philippines
Four endemic species
The Philippines has four endemic types of species of wild pigs (Filipino: baboy ramo). This makes the Philippines unique in having arguably the largest number of endemic wild pigs (Genus Sus).[1][2] Two separate populations of unstudied wild pig species have been reported on the islands of Tawi-Tawi (near Sabah, Malaysia),[3] and Tablas (in the central Philippines).[4]
Hybridization with domestic pigs is becoming very common.
