 frequently obsolete ; no warts or tufts on face; ears moderate ; 

 tail-tuft small and flattened ; young striped with alternating 

 black and reddisli brown bands ; canines as in S. scrofa

 first and second lower premolars, like that between the 

 canine and outermost lower incisor, is also unusually short ;
