Pretty impressive looking hogs there.
Many many years ago russian boars where introduced, and were released. Later on domestic hogs got loose and breed with the russian boar, what we have is a mix (mostly domestic) breed and they are reffered to as Feral hogs. Texas has millions of them, and there is some speculation that every state in the nation will have them in the next 20 years or so. I know they are in Louisiana, and they were not really there 15 years ago.

Here is an interesting link if you feel like reading.
