CROP RAIDING BY WILD BOAR (Sus scrofa) IN AND AROUND ARAVALLI, AND ITS MANAGEMENT IN RAJASTHAN, INDIA

摘要

In general, the survival and reproduction of wild animals depends on their ability to locate and harvest sufficient food to meet their nutritional needs. Timing and selection of food plants are synchronized to meet the animals' nutritional requirements. While all animals have the same general need to acquire energy, the specific patterns of resource utilization may, however, vary according to species, age-sex classes, group, population and habitat. All species interact with a variety of food sources distributed in their home ranges within their reach.
