The ancestor of the domestic pig, the wild boar has a heavy body covered with dense, bristly hair, thin legs and a long snout. The male has prominent tusks derived from the canine teeth. Wild boars live alone or in small groups of up to 20, with males separate from, but remaining close to, the females. Active at night and in the morning, they forage over a wide area for food, digging for bulbs and tubers and also eating nuts and a variety of other plant material, as well as insect larvae and, occasionally, carrion.

An agile, fast-moving animal, the wild boar is aggressive if alarmed; males use their strong tusks for defense. The breeding season varies according to regional climate, but in Europe, wild boars mate in winter and give birth to a litter of up to 10 striped young in spring or early summer after a gestation of about 115 days.

For any animal to survive, it needs food and shelter. Boars eat nuts, roots, and other plants, and can be found living in forests all over the world.
