pigs have 4 toes. two forward two rear
on hard ground they can be mistaken for a doe, in sand and mud you get to see the two back toes.
a small pig could easily be mistaken for a fawn.
piggies aint always black, some times red, brown, grey and white... Depending on the species inter mixed and age, none of these bores are pure strains. they all have been crossed with domestic at one time to suit the needs of game preserves..
I dont remember them walking or running with matching tracks, "rear track in to front track" Dosnt mean they dont, I just cant remember, from the pictures it looks like matching tracking.. I will have to put "Babe" into the vcr and see how he runs to be sure....
snow on the back sound about right for a piggy, they run out from under the pine tree or shrub they were laying under their back hairs do catch and hold a lot of snow...
I was up east of gaylord just a couple miles north of that big military base when I saw something black flash though the woods during squril season, he came though so fast he bearly looked like a black shadow going though the woods just about 35 yards away... "no snow on the ground" did not make a sound. black as night. the shape caught my eye, quadroped...
At the time I was thinking black fallow deer or panther... it passed across the fire trail I was standing on. I bearly got a two second look at it and it was gone...
this was in the mid 80's, so we know it want a piggy...
it sent goose bumps down my spine,
