feral pigs
Feral pigs, also known as wild boars, are domesticated pigs that have returned to the wild. They are found in various regions around the world, including the United States, Australia, and parts of Europe. These animals are known for their adaptability and can thrive in diverse habitats, from forests to grasslands.
Feral pigs are omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of foods, including plants, insects, and small animals. Their foraging behavior can cause significant damage to crops and natural ecosystems, leading to conflicts with farmers and conservationists. Efforts to manage feral pig populations often involve hunting and trapping.
