For centuries, wild boars, also known as feral pigs, have been a familiar sight across the Southern US, including the state of Georgia. Spanish explorer Fernando De Soto introduced these creatures to the region in 1539. Despite being domesticated, some of these wild pigs managed to break free and thrive in the wild. As time passed, more explorers brought hogs to the area. 

Wild boars are fascinating creatures that are most active at night. They love to spend their time searching for food and can sleep up to 12 hours a day. Female wild boars are sociable creatures and tend to form sounders of about 6-30 individuals, usually comprising several breeding females and their offspring. Though two or more such groups may inhabit the same area, they rarely mix with each other and instead keep to their social units.

In the 1900s, the Eurasian or Russian wild boar was introduced into parts of the United States for the purpose of sport hunting. Today, feral swine are a combination of escaped domestic pigs, Eurasian wild boars, and hybrids of the two. Feral swine have been reported in at least 35 states.

Male wild boars, on the other hand, prefer to lead a solitary life for most of the year. During the reproductive season, they become more social and preside over different sounders, competing for the opportunity to mate with a female.

To communicate with each other, these animals often use various vocalizations, including growls that usually express aggression and squealing calls that they use when they are excited or trying to show a friendly attitude.
