Only a fraction of feral swine reports in Illinois turn out to really be the invasive hog, but members of the species have been seen in the state in recent years.
More than 6 million feral swine are present in the U.S. across 35 states, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Illinois officials investigated more than 30 reported spottings
One reason feral swine are dangerous is their opportunistic nature. They re omnivorous and will eat practically anything, and their rooting and wallowing can destroy agriculture and habitats for endangered species.
