The bottom of the front
feet. This particular pig would drag
its front feet occasionally, hence the blunting of the toe. |

foot. The supernummary digits of the front
foot tends to be longer and more prominent than the hind. |

Along the track there will be
scratch and rub areas, possibly with wallows. There will be rooted soil with grasses neatly clipped by the
pig’s teeth. |
The tracks shown are a
trotting gait. The supernummary
digits are not always registered |

Side view of the foot. The supernummary digits just contact the

Note that the hind hooves
register almost precisely atop foreprints and that the track pattern is
regular and very straight. |
