Šiška (breed)
The Šiška (from Serbo-Croatian: šiške meaning "bangs") was a primitive pig breed descending from the wild boar, or a "common wild boar",[1] native to the Balkans, found in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[2] Croatia,[3] and Serbia.[4] It is one of the ancestors of both the Mangalitsa and Turopolje pig.[1] In 1977 Hungarian scientists believed it was extinct in Hungary,[5] and in Serbia it is believed that it has disappeared.[4]
