They are born with light brown fur that has white stripes from head to tail. When they are 4- 6 months old, they turn a cinnamon brown color. At 1 year old, they are full-grown and have black fur. When they dig up the ground for roots, they kill many native plants. When they wallow near the edge of a pond, they tear up the water plants.
Wild boars get into gardens and eat all the corn and potatoes.
They kill and eat small native animals, including endangered species, like baby sea turtles. Also, they eat the acorns that deer and turkey need for food. Boars have very few natural predators. Because of this, boars are often hunted to keep them from damaging the environment around them. Complete Guide to Game Animals .
