No answer to your question but I'm sure that it involves age and variety of feral hog present there.

Males have the big canine teeth and they continue to grow all of their life. The length is curtailed by the wear on the upper tooth, but on occasion the upper tooth gets broken or is misaligned and the lower tooth will grow almost in a full circle.
