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
