The wild boar imported from Germany were originally referred to as 'Prussian' boar. Our schools being as bad as they are few people even knew what 'Prussian' meant and so the word became corrupted to 'Russian'.

A few years ago the Crayola company, maker of wax crayons, renamed their 'Prussian Blue' [dark blue]to 'Midnight Blue' because modern youngsters haven't a clue what 'Prussian' refers to. I assume that machinists still know what prussian blue is for, as do historians, as in 'Prussian militarianism'.

"Domestic hogs and "Russian" boars are not the same genetics and don't have the same chromosome count."

Can you give me the source of the information that they do not have the same chromosome count? This is contrary to everything I have ever read. All my sources say that crosses between animals with different chromosome counts are sterile and are, like mules, incapable of reproducing.
