The Russian Boar, also known as the Wild Boar, is a species of pig native to parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Russian boars are large and robust animals with a distinctive appearance. They have a compact, muscular body covered in coarse, bristly fur. Adult males (boars) are typically larger than females (sows) and can weigh between 130 to 440 pounds. Boars have sharp tusks that curve outward from their mouths. Each foot has four toes.

Russian boars are highly adaptable and can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and wetlands. They prefer areas with dense vegetation that provide cover and easy access to water sources.

These boars are primarily nocturnal and are known for their keen sense of smell and excellent hearing, which helps them detect potential dangers and find food. They are omnivorous and have a varied diet that includes roots, tubers, fruits, insects, small vertebrates, and even carrion.

Russian boars breed throughout the year, but the peak mating season is usually in the late fall and early winter. Female boars give birth to litters of piglets, typically ranging from 4 to 6, after a gestation period of around 115 days.

In their native range, Russian boars are not considered endangered, but local populations can face threats due to habitat loss and hunting pressure. In regions where they have been introduced, they can negatively impact local ecosystems and agricultural lands.
