<P> Starting in the mid-80s , several boars purchased from the San Diego Zoo and Tierpark Berlin were released into the United States . A decade later , more specimens from farms in Canada and Białowieża Forest were let loose . In recent years , wild pig populations have been reported in 44 states within the US , most of which are likely wild boar - feral hog hybrids . Pure wild boar populations may still be present , but are extremely localised . </P>
