3.  Scientific Name: Suidae suis scrofa

4.  Wild boar are native across much of Northern
and Central Europe, the Mediterranean Region
(including North Africa's Atlas Mountains) and
much of Asia as far south as Indonesia.

5.  Seeds, roots, tubers, fruit, nuts, carrion, eggs, in
sects; as with all pigs, almost anything

6.  Adult boars measure 90–200 cm (35–79 in) in
length, not counting a tail of 15–40 cm (5.9–16
in), and have a shoulder height of 55–110 cm
(22–43 in). As a whole, their average weight is
50–90 kg (110–200 pounds).

7.  Sexual activity and testosterone production in
males is triggered by decreasing day
length, reaching a peak in mid-autumn. The
normally solitary males then move into female
groups, and rival males fight for
dominance, whereupon the largest and most
dominant males achieve the most mating.

8.  If surprised or cornered, a boar (particularly a
sow with her piglets) can and will defend itself
and its young with intense vigor.

9.  In Australia they are also known as predators
of young deer and lambs.

11.  The End Thank you for watching my
presentation of the Russian boar.
