Wild Boar in Germany

These magnificent beasts are also known as Wild Swine in Germany - The body of the wild boar is compact, the head is large, the legs relatively short. The fur consists of stiff bristles and usually finer fur.

Wild boars live in groups called sounders. Sounders typically contain around 20 animals, but groups of over 50 have been seen. In a typical sounder there are two or three sows and their offspring; adult males are not part of the sounder outside of a breeding cycle, two to three per year, and are usually found alone. Birth, called farrowing, usually occurs in a secluded area away from the sounder; a litter will typically contain 4-6 piglets.
