Found in the domesticated state in Asia, Europe, and North America. Pigs are omnivorous. With wild pigs activity is mainly nocturnal and crepuscular, but domestic pigs adjust to a daytime schedule. They eat fungi, tubers, bulbs, green vegetation, grains, nuts, cultivated crops, invertebrates, small vertebrates and carrion. Our pigs eat fruits, vegetables, pig pellets, and roughage.
Wild pigs live in a group of females and their offspring with males joining the group to mate.

Females have a heat cycle every 21 days that lasts about 3 days. The gestation period is around 114 days and a litter of 4 to 12 is usually produced. Piglets are weaned at 8-10 weeks.
