Random Animals
Today's random animal is
Boar
Scientific Name: Sus Scrofa
Boar
The females usually generate 3 to 10 pups, staying for 1 week in the nest to later join the group of females.
appearance
With a morphology very similar to the domestic pig (that evolved from the boar), this species can reach 167 cm in length in the male specimens or 146 cm in the female. The average weight is approximately 130 kg and some individuals with around 230 kg were detected in Germany.
His body exhibits a rounded shape and short but strong legs, giving it an aspect of great physical robustness.
The color of the hair is dark and the canine teeth of the lower jaw are very developed. These are called Defenses and the males are projected outwards and facing upwards.

Habitat
The boar is widely distributed throughout Central and Western Europe. Being common in vast areas of the national continental territory, it is globally more abundant along the border and to the south of the river Tagus.
It is often found in hardwoods and in agricultural areas that have areas where they can shelter. Often individuals of this species take refuge in shallow cavities and within spots of dense vegetation.

feeding
The boar spends most of the day scouring the land for food. It is an omnivorous animal, with preference for plant matter such as roots, fruits, acorns, nuts and seeds. They also invade cultivated lands, especially fields of potatoes and corn.
Boars also include animals in their diet, such as snails, earthworms, insects, bird eggs and even small mammals. They also consume dead animals.

reproduction
The sexual maturity is reached at 8-10 months, however the young males usually can not reproduce because they are prevented by the dominant older males.
The species has a matriarchal social structure and the solitary adult males only join the females in the reproductive period (November to January).

curiosities
the boars are of the same family as the domestic pigs, making them swine
are considered pests outside their place of origin, because, they destroy plantations, they kill the original fauna.
invade farm, eliminate the male domestic pigs and mate with the females, generating hybrids with the robust of the boar and the capacity of reproduction of the domestic pigs
in Brazil, because it is not considered a wild animal, its hunting is released without the need of a permit from the responsible organ (IBAMA), only a registration is necessary.
