What are wild hog behavioral adaptations?

Answer 1

The wild pig/boar/hog (Cetartiodactyla Suidae Sus Scrofaand similar subspecies) is amazingly adaptable. It's actually one of the widest spread mammals on the planet - mostly from humans transporting them as domestic animals (which escape from time to time) or sport (which are purposefully released). They are literally on every continent now except Antarctica. It can easily adapt to a variety of habitats (and elevations) and while diurnal normally they even adapt to nocturnal patterns if it's a benefit in a localized area.

It's ability to adapt it's behavior to so many different habitats is what makes this often invasive species such a problem.

Answer 2

Wild hogs have adapted to be opportunistic omnivores, allowing them to thrive in a variety of habitats by consuming a wide range of plant and animal matter. They are highly intelligent and have developed keen senses of smell and hearing to help them detect predators and find food. Additionally, wild hogs are capable of forming social structures within groups known as sounders for protection and cooperative foraging.
