cyrus is probably on the same industry as mine (you know your pig breeds).... my hunch is that is a black duroc. a 3 y.o. pure duroc will be about half that and a 5 y.o. is about 3/4th that size. my speculation is that mosterpig is about 7 to 10 years old na. probably nakatakas siya or pinakawalan sa wild when it was a bit old.

wild boars generally have longer head than body (in terms of body proportion) asside from the fact that they seldom grow very big... due to lack of balance diet in the wild... they are not generally carnivorous... they eat gurbs (as what Phumba eats). and at that size, how can they hunt "meat".

the teeth are also smaller than expected... at that size and possible age, dapat yan ay curled na. i have seen domesticated pigs that have similar shape teeth even if it was cut/trimmed at birth.
