The body of a wild boar is very compact and muscular. They have large heads, short legs, and a coat that is stiff and tough. The color of their coat may be black, brown, or dark gray. There are regional differences to the coat appearances, as some wild boar have mated with domesticated pigs.
Adult wild boars grow to be 3-4 feet in length usually and usually stand about 2 ½ feet at the shoulder. They usually weigh anywhere from 100-200 lbs. Sometimes they can get much bigger, depending on genetics and diet, as some species, like the Romania and Russian boar, can grow to weigh over 600 lbs.
Their ever-growing tusks serve as weapons and tools. The lower tusks of an adult male measure about 20 cm (7.9 in), in exceptional cases even 30 cm (12 in). The upper tusks are bent upwards in males, and are regularly ground against the lower ones to produce sharp edges. In females they are smaller, and the upper tusks are only slightly bent upwards in older individuals.
