Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758

Material examined. Table 2; Figure 32.

Sus scrofa is a swine native to Europe, Africa, and Asia and introduced to the study area ( Hidalgo-Mihart et al. 2015). With great individual variation in body size and pelage color, S. scrofa could be confused with D. crassus and T. pecari , but S. scrofa is usually larger. Depending on the genetic origin of individuals and their relationship with domestic forms, they can have multicolored hair or be totally hairless. Using the criteria proposed by Hidalgo-Mihart et al. (2015), we determined that the specimens photographed were from wild stock.
