The Guinea Hog is an American breed of small black pig. Since 2006 it has officially been named the American Guinea Hog. Its origins are unknown; a connection to the Essex pigs of eastern England has been suggested.[4]: 192  It is apparently unconnected to an older pig also known as Guinea Hog or Red Guinea, which disappeared in the late nineteenth century.[5]: 606 

The American Guinea Hog is a rare breed with a black coat, sturdy body, curly tail and upright ears.

There are two types of Guinea hog in North America, small-boned and large-boned Guinea hogs, the latter having longer legs.[6] There is also a type of Guinea hog in South America.
