A boar is a wild pig, known for its stout body, thick fur, and tusks. They are typically found in forests and grasslands across Europe, Asia, and North America. Boars are omnivorous, feeding on plants, fruits, and small animals. They are social animals, often living in groups called sounders, which usually consist of females and their young. Male boars are larger than females and can weigh up to 400 pounds. They are known for their aggressive behavior, especially during mating season. Boars play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to control vegetation and dispersing seeds, contributing to the health of their habitats.
