Editing Sus (genus) (section)

==Habitat and reproduction==
The wild boar (''Sus scrofa'') can take advantage of any forage resources. Therefore, they can live in virtually any productive habitat that can provide enough water to sustain large mammals such as pigs. Pigs are famously fecund; when well-fed, a sow can birth twelve or more piglets in her annual litter. If there is increased foraging by wild boars in certain areas, they can cause a nutritional shortage which can cause the pig population to decrease. If the nutritional state returns to normal, the pig population will most likely rise due to the pigs' naturally-increased reproduction rate.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Mayer|first1=John J.|last2=Brisbin| first2=I.
