This might be a double definition.

'it may have its' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boar that I've seen before include "Wild pig sounds tedious" , "Wild animal, sounds like drill" , "A male pig, sounds tedious" , "Resting place for birds or bats" , "The head for drink Falstaff had" .)
