Wild boar(イノシシ)

Overview

Wild boar (Suidae family). Since the Paleolithic, wild boar has been a vital hunting animal and was distributed in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu during the Jomon period. It is no longer found in snowy areas centred on the Tohoku region.

In addition, from the late Jomon period to the Zoku-Jomon period, wild boars were found in southern Hokkaido, even where there is no natural distribution on the Blakiston Line, and in Izu Islands from an early age indicates that they might have migrated along with Jomon people.

The body length of the male wild boar range from 120cm to 150cm, the height varies from 65cm to 75cm, and the weight of about 100kg. The Ryukyu wild boar (Sus scrofa riukiuanus) was excavated from archaeological sites of the Ryukyu Islands is small in size, and the adult wild boar has a body length of 110cm and a weight of 40kg in average.

There is not much difference in morphology between wild boar and Ryukyu wild boar, although they differ in size.
