They eat almost anything they come across, including nuts, berries, carrion, roots, tubers, refuse, insects, small reptiles--even young deer and lambs.

The male lowers its head, charges, and then slashes upward with its tusks. The female, which is tuskless, charges with its head up, mouth wide, and bites.

Pig wild or domestic root for food with their snout. The tusks on wild pigs is usually used for defense. Sometimes for food but usually not.

Grubs worms insects grasses and the occasional small animal is the basic diet of wild pigs

Depends on the type of pig or hog. They can eat anything. They will root with that wonderful nose and hurt roots and bulbs and buried food. They will eat any fruits and greens that they they find. And some will actually eat meat. The big hogs actually have tusks and can dig with them and kill with them.

Pigs by nature are not dirty animals they do not have sweat glans and so like water to help keep themselves cool. And water becomes mud.
