Ditchkoff says. “With little exception, those spaces did not overlap.
I thought this quote was interesting. I obviously do not know how much ranges will overlap, but I do know that notable exceptions for overlap are where you have concentrated resources, such as a crop field, where multiple sounders will use the same resource. In dry areas, the concentrating factor can be water sources.
While sounders may be "territorial," it isn't as if they are known to defend their territories.
Boars, on the other hand, are not territorial and some cruise over long distances.
I thought this quote was interesting, especially because at least part is not accurate.
“After spending 17 or 18 years on a pig farm, I know these animals,” Pinkston says. “I know their behavior, their vocalizations. I know they don’t crap where they eat or sleep.
Farm hogs may not crap where they eat, but ferals certainly will. I have found hog poop under the feeder on numerous occasions.
Here is a video a buddy of mine just posted showing a hog pooping right before getting to eat, but you can see him searching the ground the entire time before he gets to the food.

There are few absolutes when it comes to hogs.
