Boars are wild pigs belonging 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 typically have coarse, bristly hair and can vary in color from black to brown. They are found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands. These animals are omnivorous, feeding on a diet that includes plants, fruits, insects, and small animals. Boars are known for their strong social structures, often living in groups called sounders, which usually consist of females and their young. Males tend to be solitary, especially outside of mating season.
