Coat is grizzled grey-brown; comprises just bristle-like guard hairs in summer; dense, with underfur in winter. Coat is often obscured by mud. Head tapers to a blunt snout. Note small eyes are relatively long ears. Adult male (boar) is more powerfully built than female (sow) and has protruding, upwards-pointing tusk-like lower canine teeth. Juvenile (piglet) is reddish brown with longitudinal white stripes. Foraging animals grunt while feeding; barking call uttered in alarm. Wild Boar were driven to extinction in 17th Century. Recently, re-introduced animals and escapees from captivity have formed feral populations, mainly in Sussex and Kent; favours wooded farmland
