Sus scrofa is the scientific name for the wild boar, a species native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is a large mammal known for its stout body, short legs, and thick fur, which can vary in color from brown to gray. Wild boars are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of plants, fruits, and small animals, and they play a significant role in their ecosystems by helping to disperse seeds. Wild boars are social animals that typically live in groups called sounders, which consist of females and their young. Males are usually solitary, especially outside of the breeding season. Due to their adaptability, Sus scrofa has been introduced to many regions worldwide, sometimes leading to conflicts with agriculture and local wildlife.
