Boars live in a wide variety of conditions. In the taiga zone, in the forest belt, in the mountains in thickets and hazel. The body length is more than 1.5 m, the boar can weigh 250 kg and even (in the Far East) 300 kg. They have terrifying fangs, especially the lower ones. The fangs reach 24-25 cm in length and are bent in a semicircle. Boars can hear perfectly and have a fine sense of smell, but they see relatively poorly. In spring and summer, the daily course of wild boars does not exceed 5-6 km, in autumn it reaches 12 km, in winter, deep snow hinders long-distance hikes, and wild boars pass from several hundred meters to 3-4 km. In summer, boars come out to feed before sunset until dawn. Since autumn, they go to feed earlier-during the day, and in winter they spend the night in dens, the day-on feeding. In April, 4-6 piglets appear, sometimes even 10-12. They are in the den for a week, huddled close to each other. In the second week, the female begins to take the piglets for walks. In nature, boar lives 10-12 years, in captivity, they can live 20 years.

Кабаны живут в самых разнообразных условиях. Они могут жить в таёжной зоне, в лесополосе, в горах в зарослях лещины и орешника. Длина тела составляет более 1,5 м. Кабан может весить 250 кг и даже (на Дальнем Востоке) 300 кг. У них ужасные клыки, особенно нижние. Клыки достигают 24-25 см в длину и изогнуты полукругом. Кабаны прекрасно слышат и обладают прекрасным обонянием, но видят они сравнительно плохо. Весной и летом суточный ход кабанов не превышает 5-6 км, осенью он достигает 12 км, зимой глубокий снег затрудняет дальние походы, и кабаны проходят от нескольких сотен метров до 3-4 км. Летом кабаны выходят на кормежку перед закатом и кормятся до рассвета. С осени они выходят на кормежку раньше - днем, а зимой ночуют в берлогах, днем - на кормежке.

В апреле появляются 4-6 поросят, иногда даже 10-12. Они ещё неделю сидят в берлоге, тесно прижавшись друг к другу. На второй неделе самка начинает выводить поросят на прогулку. В природе кабан живет 10-12 лет, в неволе он может прожить и 20 лет.
