Young Wild Boar

Białowieża, Poland

The Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) is the wild ancestor of the domesticated pig. It lives in woodlands all over central Europe, and can be found throughout most of the forests of Poland. Wild boars are covered in a coat of coarse, bristle-like hairs ranging from dark grey to brown. They can reach up to 440 lb (200 kg) and can grow up to 6 feet (1.8 m) long, and weigh up to 705 lb (320 kg). Wild boar in Poland are usually found in herds ('sounders') of around 20 individuals.
