very few of the hogs that I've seen have a distinct pattern. Almost all were extremely dark and nearly patternless. I've mistaken some for yellow bellied watersnakes until I saw the heads. I never thought anything of it until I started learning about color morphs. And of course, now all I see are those with regular coloration.
