Hog, domesticated mammal, of the swine family, extensively raised in almost
every part of the world as a food animal. Hogs belong to the order of
even-toed hoofed animals. They are further classified into the suborder of
animals with 44 teeth, including two enlarged canines in each jaw that grow
upward and outward to form tusks. The terms hog, swine, and pig are often
used interchangeably for these animals.
SORRY ...... Couldn't help myself ;-)
On this list refers to an electricity supply corporation distribution
transformer. Frequently seen up telegraph poles ..... hence the term "pole
pig".
