    Shoulder height: max. 110 cm
    Weight: Boars up to 200 kg
    Age: up to 18 years


    Nutrition
    Omnivores dig through the ground for roots, worms, snails, mushrooms, eat carrion, acorns, beechnuts and nuts


    offspring
    Mating season (“rush season”) in winter
    Birth of the mostly approx. 7 younglings in the spring in the padded “litter cauldron”,
    The youngsters' striped fur serves as camouflage.


    Special
    The wild boar “Luise” was used by the police in Lower Saxony as a drug and explosives detection pig - this shows that wild boars have an extremely well-developed sense of smell.

      Just great animals. Unfortunately no newcomers seen. The enclosure could be better designed, but it's still worth a visit
