Growing up on the plains as a boar, you’ll need thick skin; luckily, Billy the Boar is born with it! After Billy’s dad takes a terrible tusk to the gut (from none other than his own mother), it’s clear that eyesight isn’t exactly a boar’s greatest gift. But don’t worry, boars have plenty of other survival skills up their snouts.
