Uncovering Physical Changes of Domestic to Feral Pigs

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the physical transformations pigs experience when they transition from domestic to feral within their lifetime. The inquiry seeks specific information on the rapid changes that occur in a single pig shortly after escaping captivity, rather than changes over multiple generations. The user references two documentaries, "Pig Bomb" and "Hogzilla," which mention these transformations but does not provide detailed sources or data. There is a clear need for more accessible information on this topic, as existing resources appear limited.

The physical changes that pigs undergoe while changing from domestic to feral within the same pigs life is what I have been searching for on the internet for a long time now and I can't find anything.
Does anyone have a source to site or any information links etc?

I haven't been able to find out this information anywhere.

Specifically:
I don't care about changes over the course of many generations of pigs ; I mean the physical transformations that take place when a single pig goes feral within days or weeks or months of escaping captivity. These changes were mentioned in two documentaries on Discovery Channel about Pigs called Pig Bomb and Hogzilla. I haven't been able to dig anything up on this since.
 
Biology news on Phys.org
This is one of a right answer.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
