Peccaries are adapted to their environments through several key features. They have strong, stocky bodies and short legs, which help them navigate dense vegetation. Their sharp canine teeth are designed for gnawing and foraging for tough plant materials, while their social structure allows them to thrive in groups, providing protection and enhancing foraging efficiency.
