Meaning of "boar" ("verraco"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A boar is a grown-up male pig. On farms, a boar is kept to be the daddy of baby piglets. There are also wild boars that live in forests. They are strong, tough pigs with tusks (curved teeth) that help them dig and protect themselves. Boars can be noisy, muddy, and very good at finding food with their powerful noses.
The boar is basically a walking vacuum cleaner for dropped food, crumbs, and half-sandwiches.
