English Boar vs European

[jb1]

I have shot wild Boar in Croatia in the past including a couple of medal (bronze and Silver) ive often wondered, looking at the images captured on trial cams on the Scottish borders if they are full breed Wild boar as ive seen before.
Im often left thinking, due to the lack of the mound on the shoulder if they are a cross breed with our domestic pigs.
The image is of a male seen regularly in the same area.

Most in Scotland aren’t, but there’s many a boar ‘twixt mountain and shore, and Wick and Hawick are distant cousins…

They are feral pigs aren’t they? Some of the ones up north even look like domestic pigs

The boar in the photo does not look like a mature male boar so it's hard to make a comparison with a European mature boar.

I recon he's about 18 months old.

So it got fair bit of growing to do. Two photos of male boar. One a 80+ kg Swedish boar and one a 140kg Croatian boar and at a guess both about the same age. What one has the male wild boar hump?
