just watched the mythbusters where they make a giant ass rubber moose and bash at least a dozen cars into it. Moral: Don't hit a moose with your car at any speed.

If the US had a similar boar:area ratio we would have about 68 million boar in this country. For comparison, we have about 30 million deer in the US. 95% of them in PA.

This test is bizarre. Couldn't they just measure what sort of damage was done with regular cars hitting regular boars on regular roads?

Plastic models would be useless in determining damage to vehicles.
There doesn't seem to be a shortage of real ones to use, with the advantage of being nicely tenderized when the test is over. And I'm not so sure wild boar sows have tusks that large. |

I get the fake boars for safety and testing constants, but is that a real dude in there?

No, he's plastic too. You can tell because his tusk is bigger than normal.
