Wild Boar in Britain
- Publisher : Whittet Books

Description:
Wild boar last roamed the woodland of Britain at the turn of the 14th century, their extinction due to over hunting and decline of habitat. But what led to their downfall then has also been their salvation now - their superb flavour. Due to the demand for their meat, wild boar farms were set up in England in the 1980s. Inevitably, some of these Houdinis of the porcine world escaped, and they have never looked back. A few populations now thrive in south-east England, and the author has been studying them.
