The Central European boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) is a subspecies of wild boar, live across almost all of mainland Europe, except parts of Scandinavia, European Russia and the southernmost parts of Greece. It is a medium-sized, dark to rusty-brown haired subspecies with long and narrow lacrimal bones. In Northern Italy, artificially introduced Wild boar have been bred with the smaller sized indigenous Maremman boar populations since the 1950s.
