Wild Boar
Sus scrofa
Adult wild boars are adaptable mammals found in woodland, scrub, marshes, grassland, and agricultural areas across much of Eurasia and beyond. They are omnivores, using a strong snout to root for tubers, acorns, fungi, insects, carrion, eggs, and small animals. Adults are powerful and wary, defending themselves with sudden charges and sharp tusks when cornered. A tough shoulder shield of thickened skin and tissue helps protect mature males during fights.
