fossil wild boar tooth of ice age, cm 2 x 1.5 x 1.4.
The boar is native to Eurasia and North Africa. From the Pleistocene to the present day, over the millennia of human populations in contact, the boar has been decimated and reintroduced several times in large portions of its distribution area and in new environments, where it is also so well entrenched, thanks to its extraordinary qualities of strength and adaptability, which today is considered one of the species of mammals more widespread and is very difficult to trace a precise taxonomic profile, as the various populations, originally as well, have undergone over time the contribution allochthonous specimens or feral pigs. To date, thirty of the 16 subspecies are recognized officially through morphological and genetic criteria of classification.
