Wild Pig Biology

Wild pigs are extremely adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats. They eat almost anything, robbing our native wildlife of food and often preying on native animals as well. What’s most concerning, however, is their vigorous reproductive potential. In favorable habitat conditions, sows can breed as young as five to ten months old, and sows are capable of producing litters of 10 or more piglets twice a year! Those are frightening numbers; once wild pigs are established, they’re likely there to stay.
