How many Suid species/subspecies have You seen?

The reason why I haven't seen the last Bornean bearded pig Sus barbatus barbatus at zoo Berlin is because on my only visit I had to leave the zoo earlier because of a storm.

@UngulateNerd92 What is the subspecies of warthog kept in North American zoos?

As far as I understand, most Common warthogs in North American zoos are non-subspecific individuals or belong to the Southern African subspecies ssp. sundevalli If you have been to San Diego, you've certainly seen ssp. sundevalli

I don't have photos from San Diego and don't remember seeing them. I have seen and photographed warthog in Miami and Brownsville.
 
I have only seen 2 species of non domesticated suids and those two are the Red River Hog and The Javelina aka The Collared Peccary and I saw the Red River hog at the Bronx Zoo and Javelina at The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.
 
This is my list:
1.) Non-subspecific Common Warthog, Phacochoerus africanus
2.) Domestic Pig, Sus domesticus
3.) Red River Hog, Potamochoerus porcus
4.) Central European Boar, Sus scrofa scrofa
5.) North Sulawesi Babirusa, Babyrousa celebensis
6.) Visayan Warty Pig, Sus cebifrons
 
This is my List

1. Babirusa 1 Zoo
2. Red river Hog 2 Zoos
3. Visayan warty Pig 1 Zoo
4. European wild Boar 5 Zoos
5. Domestic Pig 6 Zoos
6. Chacoan Peccary 1 Zoo
7. Collared Peccary 1 Zoo
 
Here's what I've seen in species level (not counting multiple subspecies or hybrids). Also, one thing I've seen is that peccaries were counted as suids (members of the Family Suidae) when they are in their own family (Family Tayassuidae). I've only seen these species in captivity). Like most people, I've only seen these 5 species.
  1. Visayan Warty Pig (Sus cebifrons)
  2. Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) - Domestic Pig
  3. Red River Hog (Potamochoerus porcus)
  4. Common Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus)
  5. Sulawesi Babirusa (Babyrousa celebensis)
If you count peccaries, I've also seen;
6. Chacoan Peccary (Catagonus wagneri)
