Sus scrofa, Wild Boar View in CoL
Thomas (1906) reported wild boar existed on Jeju, even though he did not obtain a sample. Although Mori (1928) referred to the possibility of wild boar on Jeju, Kishida and Mori (1931) doubted wild boar on Jeju. According to Won and Woo (1958), wild boars were extinct. The current population of wild boar on Jeju is believed to be established by escaped individuals from a wild boar farm. Also, genetic analysis on wild boar on Jeju shows that this group is more closely related to Chinese boar than Korean boar (J.G. Oh, Halla-san research Institute, unpublished data).
