What is a "wild boar"?

The wild boar, also known as the wild pig, is a large, omnivorous mammal that is native to many parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. They are known for their distinct appearance, with a stocky body, bristly fur, and prominent tusks that can be used for defense or foraging. Wild boars are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and swamps. They are opportunistic feeders and will consume a wide range of foods, including plants, insects, small mammals, and even carrion.
