If you're familiar with the University of Arkansas, you've probably heard of their fierce mascot, the Wild Hogs, or more specifically, the Razorbacks. This mascot is all about being wild and tough-sounding, just like the animals it represents. The story goes that back in 1909, Football Coach Hugo Bezdek described his team as playing "like a wild band of razorback hogs" after a game against LSU, and that comment stuck, leading to the official change from the Cardinal to the Razorback🐾. Today, the University of Arkansas has a live mascot named Tusk IV, a 500-pound Russian boar that looks just like a wild razorback hog. This mascot is a symbol of the school's athletic program, representing strength and ferocity. While the Razorbacks are the most well-known, this mascot type is also used by other schools, especially in Arkansas, where the spirit of these wild hogs is celebrated big time🏆. So, if you're looking for a mascot that's all about toughness and spirit, the Wild Hogs are definitely the ones to check out
