Captain Cook Boar

Captain Cook boar, - Sus scrofa

The Captain Cook boar, a feral descendant of pigs introduced by early explorers, carries with it the weight of history. Thought to originate from those released by James Cook in the late 18th century, these animals adapted to the rugged landscapes of New Zealand, growing into a breed both feared and admired. With bristled coats, curved tusks, and a formidable stance, the Captain Cook boar is less a farm animal than a living echo of acclimatisation — a creature that has left a deep mark on the land and its stories.
