Types
of food vary greatly depending on the
location and time of year.
Wild pigs will
eat anything from grain to carrion. They may
feed on underground vegetation during
periods of wet weather or in areas near
streams and underground springs.
Acorns or other mast, when available, make up a good
portion of their diet. Wild pigs gather in
oak forests when acorns fall, and their
movements will generally not be as great
during this period.
In the winters of poor
mast years, wild pigs greatly increase their
range and consume greater quantities of
underground plant material, herbaceous
plants, and invertebrates.
Stomach analyses indicate that wild hogs
ingest flesh from vertebrates, but the
extent to which animals are taken as prey or
carrion is not known.
Wild pigs are capable
of preying on lambs, as
well as goat kids, calves, and exotic game.
