Pig that becomes a snake when its last letter is removed (4)

I believe the answer is:

boar

(Other definitions for boar that I've seen before include "Wild animal, sounds like drill" , "A wild male pig" , "Wild swine" , "Male swine" , "Uncastrated male hog" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
