Remarks: Sus scrofa senaarensis syn. to Sus scrofa barbarus extinct since 1900 and omitted here; formerly found in Egypt and Sudan. It must also be stated that unfortunately crossbreeding has taken place in most of the European subspecies within the last 30 years. Wild boars from USSR, Poland, Yugoslavia and Hungary have been introduced to enclosures in France, Italy, Federal Republic of Germany and other countries in order to „change the blood“. Also cross-breeding has taken place between domestic pigs and wild boars. It may, therefore, be unwise to recognize these central European subspecies.
