Boars are wild pigs that belong to the species Sus scrofa. They are characterized by their stout bodies, short legs, and long snouts, which they use to root in the ground for food. Boars have thick, bristly fur and can vary in color from black to brown. They are found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands, and are known for their adaptability. These animals are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Their diet includes roots, fruits, nuts, and small animals. Boars are social creatures, often living in groups called sounders, which typically consist of females and their young.
