Ancestro del cerdo doméstico, los jabalíes son ungulados robustos y omnívoros que pesan hasta 200 kg, presentes desde Europa occidental hasta Asia y el norte de África en hábitats diversos que incluyen bosques, humedales y praderas. Muy adaptables y prolíficos reproductores, se han convertido en invasores en muchas regiones, incluyendo América del Norte y Australia. Su comportamiento de hozar disturba el suelo y la vegetación, influyendo significativamente en la estructura forestal y la germinación de semillas.
