Females less males, their height in the withers up to 90 cm and the maximum can weigh up to 160 kg. The duration of their life is usually 14 years old, but in captivity they can live longer until 20 years, when the terrain becomes protected.
Habitat
These animals prefer to settle on wooded area and swampy terrain. Boars live throughout the European part to the Scandinavian Peninsula. They also live in Asia and in the northern part of Transbaikalia, the Far East, in southern Siberia.
Wepers live in Argentina as well in Central and North America. The boars inhabited North Africa, but the hunt for them was too popular, so they were practically exterminated.
These animals can live in various places of our planet, even in tropical forests and in the desert. In Europe, boars love to dwell in oak and beech forests. There are many swampy terrain, fields and meadows. In Central Asia, Vepri prefer to settle in deciduous and fir forests, as well as in nut-fruit groves.
Boars can not stay in one place long place, so migrate in search of food. The boars are looking for habitats with large harvests or grow different feeds. In the European part, the largest population is located in Sweden, more than 1,000 individuals.
Behavior and nutrition
The lifestyle of males is different from females. The males prefer privacy, live singly. Females are going to groups with cubs, their total number can be up to 50 individuals. The males come to the group only in the marital season.
Wild boars in search of food hunt in the morning or evening. At night and the Day of the boars love to rest calmly. Animals are characterized by sharp hearing and smell. They have a rather weak vision, so they are more oriented on the other of the senses.

- insects;
- worms.
Adults are attacking both larger food of animal origin, such as lambs or young deer, are not bended to Padal.
Werery excellent swimmers, they can wonderfully swim and capable of overcome in water more distances. Animal can easily swam river or lakes about. Despite the big weight, the boars are fast runningTherefore, they are considered dangerous enemies for many animals.
Reproduction of boars and females
The average life expectancy of wild boar is 10-12 years old. From September to December, Kabanov passes Gon. The males appears a protective subcutaneous shell - the thickness of the muscle is 2-3 cm.
It is located on the sides and serves as protection against the attack of enemies. It also helps protect against rival fangs in the marriage in the fight for the female. During this period, they accumulate additional fat.
In the marriage season among males goes constant struggle for females. During this period, they lose weight and their strength. Many wounds appear on their body, but it is worth it because the male can get up to 8 females for mating.
The female shelters the cubs about 115 days, they appear in April quantity of 2-3 piglets. Such a number is only in females who give birth for the first time, then it gives birth to 4-5 cubs.
There have been cases when the female managed to give birth to 10-12 piglets. The offspring always remains with the mother, she feeds it with his milk about 3.5 months. Sexual maturity in females begins in a year and a half, and in males in 5-6 years.
People have long been hunted on wild boars, so man is the main enemy of this animal. Mostly hunting is kept for animal skinsAlthough it is considered very tasty and nutritious.

In antiquity, the habitat of boar was significantly wider than modern. In Central Europe and the Middle East, it was previously laid almost everywhere, now in many places is exterminated, as in all of England. It is believed that the Xabani Mesopotamia and Europe are believed that the cubans of modern domestic pigs are. In Russia, Kaban is found at the considerable territories of the European part of Russia (except for the Northeastern Tundra and Tayzhny regions), in the Caucasus, in South Siberia; On Tian-Shan, it rises to 3,300 m.

Habber habitat
Wild boars are ordinary inhabitants of Russian forests. Preferred habitat - wooded areas and swampy terrain. The boar loves lying in marsh mud. Representatives of this kind are inhabited in Europe, the central, southeastern and eastern parts of Asia, in the Middle East, in India and North Africa. In the steppe terrain, the mountains and in dry territories, this animal does not occur.
The boar lives in some areas of Siberia, it can be found in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and in the southern part of the Irkutsk region. Today he lives in the forests of the Moscow region, and in the territories located north. In search of food, it can climb a meadow of highlands, but the height should not exceed 3300 meters. In Kazakhstan and Central Asia, they loved coniferous and deciduous forests for living, in the Caucasus - fruit.
In the XIII century, these animals did not become in the UK, in the XIX - in Denmark, and at the beginning of the twentieth century, the boars disappeared from Austria, Germany, Italy and the North of Africa. In 1930, the wild pig was almost completely exterminated in Russia. However, since 1950, the population began to revive. To date, the boar lives even on a foggy albion.
They live in the parks of wildlife of England. The largest population lives in Sweden. Its number is more than 100 thousand individuals. Representatives of the genus are also found in North America, more precisely, in the eastern United States, where they were delivered specifically for hunting. There is a population and in Australia, but there are not wild boars, and the homemade who ran away from the farms was wild and now adapted to life in wildlife and continue to multiply. According to behavior and lifestyle, representatives of this population do not differ from the boars, but they are still not them.
Cabani Behavior
Females live in groups whose number can reach up to 50 individuals. Dominates the mature female. The males prefer a single lifestyle and in groups come only in the marital season. Hunt and looking for food in the morning and evening twilight. In the day and night clock, the boars prefer to relax.

Thanks to the fangs of boys can dig ground and get rhizomes, tubers, plant bulbs. This is their main food. Also eat berries, fruits, nuts. In the spring and summer eating young grass, leaves of trees and shrubs, shoots. From animal food, eagles of birds, worms, insects, fish, fond of frogs and snakes. Padals eat and young lambs and deer. Boars are perfectly swimming and can easily twist the lake or river. They run well, can develop a fairly greater speed, and considering their size and weight, are very dangerous for enemies.
Reproduction and life expectancy
In the wild, the boar lives 10-12 years old, in captivity animals wait until 20 years. From November to December, Kabanov passes Gon. The males increase the subcutaneous protective "shell" - muscles with a thickness of 2-3 cm. It is located on the sides and performs the function of protection against the rival fangs, which he can hurt in the fight for the female. Also during this period, animals accumulate fat.
During the marriage season, males constantly participate in battles for females, and therefore they lose weight, weaken. They have a lot of wounds on the body. The winner can get up to 8 females. The duration of pregnancy is about 115 days. Births are held in April. The first time the female usually gives birth to 2-3 piglets. In the future, it gives birth already 4-6 young. There are cases when 10-12 piglets may be in litter. When 3 days left before childbirth, the female leaves the herd. She is looking for a place, pulls the pit there, closes her branches and gives birth there.
At the birth of a pig weighs from 750 grams to 1 kg. The first 4-6 days they are sitting in the nest, and then the female together with the offspring returns to herd. The offspring everywhere walks with his mother. The female feeds a young milk for 3.5 months. The growth in these animals continues until 5-6 years. Female females become 1.5 years old, and males - in 5-6 years.
Enemies of boar
Enemies for boars are all predators. But they are usually attacked on young individuals, since adult boys are strong, large, possess strong legs, and males are also sharp fangs. Therefore, the boar is able to repulse, and even, in some cases, the striker dies, but more often gets serious injuries.
The main enemy of the Wild Pig is a man. The main enemy remains a person. People hunted and continue to hunt. In most cases, the animal is killed in order to make scarecrow and demonstrate their skill of the hunter from his head. Meat of these animals people eat in food, it is very tasty and nutritious. From the bristles of boars, massage brushes for hair, toothbrushes and brushes for applying foam for shaving were made.
Now the bristle for the manufacture of toothbrushes is not used - it is nonhygienically, and shaving brushes and hair brushes are sometimes made from it. It is made of bristles more and painting brushes. Kabanov's skin can be eaten. Today, the hunt for this beast has gained a sporty character, this is done for the sake of entertainment, and not food mining. Often hunt with dogs or drive the sacrifice on horseback.
If the hunter meets with the Veprem, especially with the wounded, then a man threatens a deadly danger. An animal lightningly rushes on the enemy, and if you do not run away in time, you can die. Repeated boar does not attack. Under normal conditions, the boar is not aggressive. The exceptions are females with the offspring, if the mother decides that the children threaten danger, then she will defend them to the last.

- The genericants of modern home pig - these are wilderness of Mesopotamia, Malaya Asia, Europe and China, which people domesticated in the era of Neolith. According to archaeologists, already 13,000 - 12,700 years ago, wild pigs were domesticated in the Middle East. At first they were kept in the middle-aged state on the will, as happening and now, for example, on New Guinea. The remains of pigs were discovered by scientists in Cyprus, where they could get only from the mainland along with people. The first domestic pigs were brought to Europe from the East, after which the active process of domestication of European wild pigs began. It happened quite quickly thanks to the high adaptability and omnivities of wild pigs. These animals were divorced because of delicious meat, and their skins were also used (for the manufacture of shields), bones (to create workers and weapons) and bristles (for brushes). In India and China, the boars eaten human waste and they were even called "pork toilets."
