Hog, domesticated mammal, of the swine family, extensively raised in almost 
every part of the world as a food animal. Hogs belong to the order of 
even-toed hoofed animals. They are further classified into the suborder of 
animals with 44 teeth, including two enlarged canines in each jaw that grow 
upward and outward to form tusks. The terms hog, swine, and pig are often 
used interchangeably for these animals.

SORRY ...... Couldn't help myself ;-)

On this list refers to an electricity supply corporation distribution 
transformer.  Frequently seen up telegraph poles ..... hence the term "pole 
pig".
