I can't remember what they were eating ( acorns or fruit perhaps ). But what I do remember was the sloth bear who suddenly walked right down to where the wild hogs were feeding. He took over the available food. There were a fairly large number of the wild boar. But they fled from the single sloth bear. I was surprised. I don't believe that sloth bears are very predatory. If they hunt at all; probably very rarely. But it was clear that the wild boars feared him.

They've attacked and killed humans so they pose a threat. Reply
