Eurasian Wild Pig

The wild boar is a heavily built pig with short legs, a large wedge-shaped head, a thick neck, and a raised shoulder region. Coarse winter bristles cover a dense brown undercoat, and adult males develop a mane along the back and prominent canine tusks. Piglets are readily recognised by their pale longitudinal stripes. Size and colour vary greatly across the enormous native range, so measurements from European or Far Eastern populations are not applied to Mongolia here. The head and strong neck are adapted for rooting and turning soil. (Wikipedia, general species account)

Wild boar are versatile omnivores, digging for roots, bulbs, tubers, seeds, and buried animals while also eating fruit, shoots, invertebrates, eggs, small vertebrates, and carrion. Females and young live in matriarchal groups called sounders; mature males are normally solitary outside the breeding season. Suitable habitat combines dense shelter, access to drinking and wallowing water, and manageable winter snow. The account describes Transbaikalian animals as concentrated in river valleys with shrubs and nut pine, but it does not provide a Mongolia-specific locality. Litters commonly contain four to six piglets. (Wikipedia, general species account)
