I'd estimate about 30 inches high at the shoulder so definitely not
babies. No tusks fortunately but that could be a function of gender,
not sure though.

Any wild boar experts out there?


Not an expert, but the tusks are actually the continuous growing canine
teeth, so both males and females will have them. However, on males, they
tend to be longer so as to be more visible.

Not that I'd be able to tell the difference, but those may not be wild
boar at all. They could be feral pigs.
