Justin,



This is interesting, but I don't think it is fair to lump Easterns, Southerns, Westerns, and Mexicans together. I think their habitat preferences and probably temperature preferences are different enough to warrant treating as the different species they are.



For example, I think Mexican hogs live in areas that are a lot hotter than other species and can be found active when daytime temps are in or above the mid 90s. That isn't true for Southerns in my experience and probably not easterns either.



Westerns on the other hand have a much higher tolerance for cold temperatures than any of the other species since they occur on the plains up into Canada.
