Field Notes
Description:
A group of Wild pigs (wild boar) that visited our beachside hotel at Yala, Sri Lanka.
Habitat:
Beach
Notes:
I think the boars found in Sri Lanka are Indian Boars (Sus scrofa cristatus). The Indian boar differs from its European counterpart by its large mane which runs in a crest along its back from its head to lower body, larger, more sharply featured and straighter skull, its smaller, sharper ears and overall lighter build.
