I am – Animal of the Day: Wild Boar
I know you all loved the last Drunken Stepfather animal of the day. But the question is, can you handle another. The wild boar is a tasty treat and I used to eat Boar meat all the time untill my rabbi told me it wasn’t kosher. But if you are not kosher I recommend a Boar on rye with nustard.
The wild boar is found in Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa. The boar can live in groups up to fifty. The wild boar’s mating season takes place during the winter months. The boar can have two to twelve babies in a litter. They are born usually between March and May. The piglets are not full grown until the age of four or five years.

Adaptations
Some of the wild boar’s special adaptations are its tusks and its snout. The tusks are used for protection from its predator. The snout is used for digging up soil so it can eat roots and plant bulbs.
Adaptations
Some of the adaptations of the alligator are its back webbed feet for steering and bulging eyes which make it look like a log. American alligators have very dark and camouflaged skin. They also have very sharp teeth for ripping off flesh and eating prey. Nostrils on top of their long noses help them to breathe on top of the water.
Niche/Habitat
The wild boar is found in the coniferous forest and in the grassland. It builds its home in thickets and tall grass. The boar does not hibernate, nor does it migrate.
