Notes.

This species was observed thirteen times on camera traps (Table 2 View Table 2 ). It was observed in two national park forest transects and one human-disturbed forest transect (Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ). The first observation of three piglets were sighted with an adult female, presumably the mother (enlarged teats) and a few months later in a different camera trap area (further north), an adult and larger sized piglets were observed. These wild boars can inflict a large amount of damage to plants in an ecosystem ( Ickes 2001).
