More information:

Wild boar or wild pig is a species of the pig genus. Wild boar are omnivorous and feeds on roots, grubs, tubers and carrion. Wild boar have a keen sense of smell, but their eyesight and hearing are not that acute. Boars are typically social animals, living in female-dominated sounders consisting of barren sows and mothers with young lead by an old matriarch. Male boars leave their sounder at the age of 8–15 months, while females either remain with their mothers or establish new territories nearby. Subadult males may live in loosely knit groups, while adult and elderly males tend to be solitary outside the breeding season.
