If they create issues that might cause problems or hinder native species, they are referred to as invasive species. This is the case with Wild Hogs and Peccaries. These feral pigs successfully survive and increase their population by 20% each year and currently at 9 million in the USA. As mammals with the most complex behaviors, they leave behind a disrupted environment that can take many years to recover.
