Is that just a boar with a spiky fur suit?

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

Fun will now commence.

It's a long tradition
I'm not sure who looks more miserable - George or the dog.
Clearly the dog. Poor thing had to wear 2 fur suits under all those hot lights, whereas George just had to carry an annoyed dog.
Just a pig. Boars are not something you'd want loose in a studio.
How different are pigs and boars? Are they able to interbreed? Can Muslims eat boar meat?
These are the important questions I need answered in the comment section of a Star Trek meme forum.
It’s actually a domestic peccary, neither a pig nor a boar. That long snout is 100% peccary.
A boar is going to be mean, and a pig doesn’t look like that. Peccaries are routinely domesticated in South America, and look more ‘weird’ to a NA audience.
e: picture of a happy peccary, without the costume that makes it look menacing:
You’ll notice the same tan face colouring as the TNG actor. And look at his cute little ears – this one’s a baby. :)
- Boars are basically wild pigs. Typically more hair, agressive/feral, have tusks, and a highly invasive species.
- Yup.
- Still pork, so no.
Thanks!
They can and do interbreed. As a kid we had a wild boar bust into the pen of our pet pot belly pig. It freed and apparently mated with her. We would then occasionally see their weird part hairy, part bald mutant kids running around the woods after that.
Well yes. Where do you think the Klingons got their fashion tips from?
Technically it was Q.
He is a good targ and a pretty targ
...I will feed it.
That pig is just thinking "no amount of food is worth this hassle!"
