Austria: Wild Boar

On Monday I got a card from Austria.

It shows young Wild Boars. The Wild Boar is a suid, which was actually native to Eurasia. The human also introduced it to North America and Australia making it today one of the widest-ranging mammals in the World. It the ancestor of the most domestic pig breeds and was used as big-game animal for millennia.


With a nice matching stamp:

Thank You very much Anita!
