The Philippines has four endemic types of species of wild pigs ( Filipino: baboy ramo). This makes the Philippines unique in having arguably the largest number of endemic wild pigs (Genus Sus). [1] [2] Two separate populations of unstudied wild pig species have been reported on the islands of Tawi-Tawi (near Sabah, Malaysia), [3] and Tablas (in the central Philippines). [4]
Hybridization with domestic pigs is becoming very common.
