what's the difference between a wild hog and a feral pig?
Different spelling... That is all.

If you find a breed of swine that has bever been "domesticated" at one point in history, it would be, in fact, a WILD HOG... But if at any time, that breed was domsetic livestock, the ones running loose are officially "feral"...

Wild means "of the wild" where feral defines "once domestic but now living as wild" not just that individual but that breed of that specie... That is how I learned it anyway...
