Javali

Ancestral do porco doméstico, os javalis são ungulados robustos e onívoros que pesam até 200 kg, encontrados desde a Europa Ocidental até a Ásia e o Norte da África em habitats diversos que incluem florestas, zonas úmidas e pradarias. Altamente adaptáveis e prolíficos reprodutores, tornaram-se invasivos em muitas regiões, incluindo América do Norte e Austrália. Seu comportamento de fuçar perturba o solo e a vegetação, influenciando significativamente a estrutura florestal e a germinação de sementes.
