Tusk, the live mascot for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, is a Russian boar, specifically bred to resemble the wild hogs known as razorbacks native to Arkansas, starting with Tusk I in the late 90s and continuing through Tusk VI and the recent arrival of Tusk VII. While called a Razorback (the team name), the actual animal is a Russian boar, cared for by the Stokes Family Farm, near Dardanelle, Arkansas.
