Details for Wild Boar

• Wild Boar

  The wild boar (Sus scrofa) is a widespread species of wild pig native to much of Eurasia and North Africa. It is characterized by its robust body, bristly hair, and prominent tusks (especially in males). Wild boars vary in size, but can weigh between 50-200 kg (110-440 lbs). They are highly adaptable omnivores, feeding on roots, tubers, fruits, nuts, insects, small animals, and carrion. Wild boars are social animals, living in groups called sounders, and are known for their destructive rooting behavior when foraging. They play an important role in forest ecosystems by disturbing soil and dispersing seeds.
