From TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.

Boars were a type of omnivorous mammals that were the ancestors of domesticated pigs.

The boars had gone extinct in England, but they were later reintroduced in 1987. This occurred during a massive storm in Kent, when a farm that raised wild boars was damaged and the boars were allowed to escape. Some of these boars came to the house of the Doctor, and eventually evolved into the intelligent Boar race. (EDA: Mad Dogs and Englishmen)

Wikipedia has a more detailed and comprehensive article on

Boar

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

A pig, hog, or swine is a mammal native to the planet Earth where it was bred and raised for food, such as bologna or bacon. (TOS episode: "The City on the Edge of Forever", TNG episode: "Up the Long Ladder")

Tellarites as well as targs are noted as resembling Terran domestic pigs.

A stock photo of a wild razorback boar

Several wild razorback boars have been featured in Lost and The Lost Experience. Wild boars can reach up to 440 lb (200 kg) and can be up to 6 feet (1.8 m) long. If surprised or cornered, they may become aggressive and can cause injury with their tusks. However, this is quite rare and usually only occurs if a sow feels the need to defend her piglets.

On the Island

• In several early episodes, the castaways hunted boar for food. ("Walkabout")
• Sawyer was tormented by a boar that may have been possessed by the spirit of Frank Duckett whom he killed in Australia. Sawyer eventually caught the boar, but decided to let it live, in contrast with the tree frog he later caught then killed. ("Outlaws")
• Locke and Charlie find the body of a boar that's apparently been killed by a polar bear. ("Further Instructions")
• During the Tailies' trail to the Beach camp, Jin is chased and knocked down by a boar which results in finding Goodwin's body. ("...And Found")
• Sawyer and Desmond kill a boar and host a feast on the beach. ("Left Behind")
• Miles recovered the carcass of a boar that had recently died of natural causes in the jungle to feed the survivors at the beach camp in 1954, but they were unable to cook and eat it before being attacked with flaming arrows by the Others. ("The Lie")
• Locke hunts down a boar and offers it as dinner for Richard and the Others. ("Follow the Leader")

Native to the Island

The boars on Lost may or may not be native to the Island. Although razorback boar are not native to islands in the South Pacific, crews of ships would often transport them to newly discovered islands as a preemptive source of food should the island be colonized later. The time between discovery and colonization could be many years, giving four boars (two male and two females) the opportunity to have multiple litters before colonists arrived. Wild chickens were also transported in the same way.

The Lost Experience

Still from 1980 Psychology Test Orientation video showing a wild boar (middle right). Notice its resemblance to the boar seen in the stock photo above

A boar appeared in two clues from The Lost Experience:

• In several frames of the 1980 DHARMA psychology test video. (Thehansofoundation.org)
• The same photo appeared again in several frames of Glyph 57 on Rachel Blake's real blog. (Hansoexposed.com)

Production notes

• The "Lost: On Location (Season 1)" special featurette starts with a clip called "The Trouble with Boars". (Lost: The Complete First Season)
• In a deleted scene of "Two for the Road", Hurley told Libby that he missed his hog, a pot-bellied pig named Chester.
