However, the habitat and distribution of the gaur and saltwater crocodile seldom overlap in recent times, due to the decreasing range of both species. A crocodile likely would need to be a mature adult male (more than 3.7 m or 12 ft and 300 kg or 660 lb) to make a successful attack on healthy adult gaurs. [40] [41] [42] A Tiger with killed gaur
Adults measure from 84 to 91 cm (33 to 36 in) in shoulder height (with one specimen in West Bengal having reached 97 cm (38 in)) and 152 cm (5 ft) in body length. Weight ranges from 91 to 136 kg (200 to 300 lb). [2] Wild Boars in Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India Wild boar with piglets in Kaziranga National Park, Assam
However, research shows that when compared with other mitigation tactics, hunting is the only strategy to significantly reduce crop damage by boars. [144] Although large boar populations can play an important role in limiting forest growth, they are also useful in keeping pest populations such as June bugs under control. [4]
Adult bushpigs stand from 66 to 100 cm (26 to 39 in) at the shoulder, [4] and mature boars can reach a weight of 150 kg (330 lb), although 60 to 80 kg (130 to 180 lb) is more common. [4] [5] Sows are 45 to 70 kg (99 to 154 lb). [5] They resemble the domestic pig, and can be identified by their pointed, tufted ears and face mask.
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.
