It’s actually a domestic peccary, neither a pig nor a boar. That long snout is 100% peccary.
A boar is going to be mean, and a pig doesn’t look like that. Peccaries are routinely domesticated in South America, and look more ‘weird’ to a NA audience.

You’ll notice the same tan face colouring as the TNG actor. And look at his cute little ears – this one’s a baby. :)
They can and do interbreed. As a kid we had a wild boar bust into the pen of our pet pot belly pig. It freed and apparently mated with her. We would then occasionally see their weird part hairy, part bald mutant kids running around the woods after that.
How different are pigs and boars? Are they able to interbreed? Can Muslims eat boar meat?
These are the important questions I need answered in the comment section of a Star Trek meme forum.
