Invasive feral pigs, also known as wild boars, are non-native animals that have adapted to various environments across the globe, particularly in the United States. They pose significant ecological threats by rooting up vegetation, competing with native wildlife for food, and spreading diseases. Their presence can lead to soil erosion and damage to crops, impacting agriculture and natural ecosystems. Efforts to manage their populations often involve hunting and trapping, but their rapid reproduction makes control challenging.
