Do boars have nipples?

[Emiley]

Right, I was checking the 3 boars tonight - spraying them with their 'fly strike protector' and checking their bottoms. This is the first time I've done this as I have only had them a little while, plus they are now only just letting me happily pick them up.

Anywho, all 3 are boars.. you can tell this as they all have testicles.. how ever they also have, what looks like to me 2 nipples =/.

Is this normal? I didn't know boars had nipples *confused face*

yes they do.

All mammals have them regardless of which sex they are its just some species have prominant nipples and some dont, piggies do

oooh thanks! It's just.. you may have seen my thread about it already but Gilly was sexed wrong when I first got him, I originally thought he was a 'she', until my vet cleared that up.

Sexing them is so confusing =/

I once got sent round to someone who had two male goats to castrate them (as little kids) to discover they were both female and they are a lot more obvious as males have dangly bits rolleyes

All male mammals have nipples (including humans) and some piggies have a visible belly button, too.

I guess you don't really think about it, but I find it a little funny that sometimes people are very shocked that male animals have nipples But men do too

I'm not laughing at you btw, I know you really don't think about it but when you realise they do then it makes sense
