Hunting Boar And Wild Pigs: Did You Know . . .

That male boar attack head down? The boar will charge head down, then strike with his tusks sideways in an upward motion. After the vicious, brief attack and a hit boar usually stop the attack and leave the victim alone. Unless of course they are further provoked.

Because of the slashing attacks against human legs, small agile boar are in many countries called "pants mender".

Sows, on the other hand, attack mouth wide open, much like a crocodile. They bite with considerable force. If the victim falls or is prone for any other reason, they will not stop the attack but instead bite repeatedly – and sometimes even devour the victim.
