Back away from Utube, That's the problem with those kinds of things. Hogs are not biters, defensively. Hogs do like food.

Like most animals, hogs are very trainable, or better yet, easy to teach successful repeatable behaviors. So yes, you can condition a hog to bite you, chase your finger. But to bite for biting sake, pretty rare.

AS you should know, anything can bite is it has a mouth. That said, you pretty much have to stick your finger in their mouths, They are just not good at it, even grabbing prey.

In the field, I have never had one attempt to bite. IF anything, they go stupid(play dead) I don't call it playing dead, because its not playing dead. In all reality its playing stupid or smart, Blood, crap, junk of all matter, weird fluids, all coming out of a snake flipping around and around. Hmmmmmmmmmmm not playing dead.
