feral pig?

My webcam snapped a shot of what looks like a feral pig with dark and light spotty fur. I only got a side view of the head and shoulder. It was looking slightly away from the camera but the profile of a snout seems visible. Are you aware of many feral pigs in my area?

The IDNR district wildlife biologist in Monroe County would be good to contact on this. Carl Handel (618) 295-2877

Would you send the photo to me at lkammin@illinois.edu.
