Wild Boar

Sus scrofa

Quite similar to the domestic pig, It is still widely spread in Europe and Asia. It is sturdy, with the hair consisting of long and hard bristles generally of black color. It has very developed smell and hearing, that it make use to look for food and to feel the danger.

It lives in the forests and in the bush, where he builds its muddy burrow, usually sheltered by a dense scrub, digging it into the ground. It appears in Europe about 800,000 years ago, with a subspecies of great size (Sus scrofa priscus). It is fairly common in middle and upper Pleistocene deposits.
