Diet
Central european boar is an omnivorous species primarily feeding on roots, shoots, fruits and small invertebrates. These wild boars also consume various types of nuts, fungi, and occasionally carrion, employing their sharp tusks to forage food in diverse environments.
Appearance
Central european boar is a sizable, robust animal with coarse fur. It sports a gray-brown color, commonly displaying varying stripes or dots, particularly in younger specimens. Its elongated, flexible snout, paired with its distinctive tusks, particularly prominent in males, shapes its unique silhouette. Central european boar possesses a compact body, supported by relatively short, sturdy legs ending with cloven hooves, complemented by a hairy, straight tail.
Behavior
Central european boar exhibits a highly social lifestyle, forming complex structures known as sounders primarily made up of females and their young. They forage using their highly sensitive snouts in a nocturnal pattern. Territorially, they mark areas with trees by stripping the bark. Their survival behavior includes wallowing in mud for temperature regulation and parasite control.
