HERNANDEZ, Carlos; SADE, Soraya e RAU, Jaime. Diet of the wild boar (Sus scrofa), a recent biological invader of Puyehue National Park, southern Chile. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.2, pp.467-473. ISSN 0327-9383.
We identified the prey items and trophic categories represented in the contents of a summer-autumn (2013) sample of seven stomachs from wild boars hunted in the interior of Puyehue National Park, southern Chile. The diet included plants, animals and fungi, generally similar to previous reports from two other southern Chilean wilderness areas. This recent biological invader in the study area is characterized as an opportunistic generalist and has potential negative impacts on the fauna and flora that should be promptly evaluated.
