Do you still remember that in recent years, there have been rewards in several places in my country due to the flood of wild boars. As long as you can catch a wild boar, you will get a high commission. This kind of thing happens in China, which is somewhat incredible. After all, in the face of Chinese people who love food, almost all edible wild species have been eaten into protected species. What's more, wild boars are delicious in quality and large in size and are easily discovered. It is not easy to be evaluated as invasive species.
In fact, wild boars have not only begun to breed in large quantities in China in recent years, but also in the United States, Australia, and even in African grasslands and South American forests, wild boars are distributed in large quantities, and the number is surprisingly large. This is due to the extraordinary wisdom and excellent adaptability of wild boars. Although many people say that pigs are stupid, it is just because pigs' actions look clumsy. In fact, pigs have a high IQ. Some scientists have observed that pigs' intelligence level can be comparable to that of human children. Moreover, all pigs have one thing in common, that is, their extraordinary survival includes their low requirements for food. Whether it is plants, meat, even fish, , snakes, , they are all pig recipes.
So with the spread of wild boars around the world, is it a good or a bad thing? In fact, this problem is really complicated. Wild boars will not devastating the ecology like other invasive species. On the contrary, they will quickly integrate into the new environment. Even many endangered large carnivores in the world, such as mountain lions and South China tigers, have a better living environment due to the proliferation of wild boars. But on the other hand, wild boars have extraordinary fertility. If they are not controlled, they may form a huge ethnic group, attack humans, and squeeze out the living space of other animals, which may happen.
So, countries such as the United States and Australia will also capture a certain number of wild boars every year while allowing wild boars to survive, and control the number of wild boars in a virtuous cycle. In the forests in China, the number of wild boars is gradually increasing, which is naturally beneficial to the diversity of local organisms. Moreover, if wild boars are captured by humans, they can be easily patrolized and provide humans with high-quality meat.
What many people don’t know is that wild boars were the first animals in the world to be domesticated by humans. They are not as important as dogs because of their different roles. Especially the ancients in China, they actually recognize the importance of pigs. The second half of our Chinese character, the word "Chinese" actually means pigs. It can be imagined that pigs live in pig pens. In other words, in ancient times, raising pigs was actually a very important part of a family.
