The boar is a large, pig-like creature with tusks, thick body hair, and a short tail. It is a native of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and has been introduced to North America and Australia. Boars are omnivorous, and will eat almost anything they can find. However, they prefer to eat roots, tubers, fruits, and nuts. Boars are social animals, and live in groups called sounders. A sounder consists of a few adult females, their young, and a dominant male. Boars are hunted for their meat, which is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world.
