That tickled me.

The wild pigs in Ecuador have, so I'm told, massive tusks and stroll about in packs. Their defence mechanism is to charge en mass at the preditor, the only thing to do shimmy up a tree and wait, often for a very long time before they get bored and walk off. I think I shall be looking for a claymore if I fancy pork for lunch.

A few years ago my wife was working in the forest in Brazil where there were a load of white lipped Peccaries (wild pigs) around. They had a really bad reputation - going around in large herds and mauling any unfortunate botanists that came across them.
Local advice was to climb the nearest tree and wait until they had moved on before getting the h3ll out of the area before they came back!
Only problem was this was stunted secondary forest that was being studied for regeneration - few of the tree's could support the weight of a person and those that could tended to be tall pioneer species with no branches for the first 20 feet or so - impossible to climb.
The solution?
I have photo's of my wife walking through the rainforest with a folding aluminium ladder strapped to her back!
And she had to use it in anger a few times as well !!!

All of the above is my opinion - at least it was when I wrote it. It might have changed by now though 'cos it's not all black and white.
