"Wild Boar" refers to a male, not to a female.
When someone goes Boar Hunting, they hunt the male.
Isn't a boar always a male?
Yes, a boar is always a male. In standard zoological and agricultural terminology: Boar = adult male pig (wild or domestic), specifically one that has not been castrated.
Sow = adult female pig (wild or domestic).
The female wild pig (Sus scrofa) is therefore called a sow (or sometimes “wild sow” for clarity when talking about the species). Young wild pigs are called piglets or shoats, just like domestic ones.
People often use “wild boar” loosely to refer to the whole species or any individual animal in the wild, but when you need to specify sex, the distinction holds: male = boar, female = sow.
No, a wild sow is not generally as violent as a wild boar. Their aggression patterns differ significantly by sex, driven by biology, social structure, and context.

Wild boars (males) are typically more aggressive overall:They are larger (often 10–30% bigger and heavier than females), have larger tusks, and live solitarily or in small bachelor groups outside the breeding season (rut, usually November–January).

During the rut, males fight fiercely with rivals for mating access, often sustaining serious injuries. They can be territorial and unpredictable when cornered, injured, or startled.
Boars account for the vast majority of severe or fatal attacks on humans and dogs, largely due to their size, weaponry, and baseline aggression.

Wild sows (females) are generally less aggressive but can become extremely dangerous in specific situations:
They live in matriarchal family groups (“sounders”) with piglets and other females, where aggression is mostly avoided through threats or withdrawal rather than full fights.

Their primary trigger for violence is maternal defense. Sows with young are highly protective and will charge aggressively if they perceive a threat to their litter—often cited by hunters and wildlife experts as one of the most hazardous encounters with wild pigs.

Boars = more consistently violent/territorial (especially solitary males or during rut).
Sows = usually avoid conflict, but turn fiercely protective when piglets are involved.
Domestic/feral pig studies show similar patterns: males tend to escalate fights and cause more damage, while females may start conflicts faster but end them quicker with fewer injuries.

Bottom line: A lone sow is generally less violent than a boar, but never underestimate a mother with piglets
