Wild Boar

Wild boars are medium-sized mammals that are primarily found in the lower, hilly regions of the Himalayas. A wild boar can reach a length of 4 to 6.5 feet and weigh up to 200 kilograms as an adult. Wild boars have thick coats that might be brown, black, grey, or red in hue.

The wild boar is a shy animal and strives to remain undetected. Additionally, because they are nocturnal, it is very uncommon to see them during the day. Tusks on the bottom lip are the wild boar's most defining characteristic. Male wild boars have longer tusks than females do. During mating season, which lasts from November to January, the male wild boars engage in tusk-based combat to win the female. They only emerge at night to gather food and spend the daytime sleeping for about 10 to 12 hours. As omnivores, wild boars consume berries, nuts, roots, insects, and carrion in addition to other foods.
