Abstract

Although feral hogs (Sus scrofa) have expanded their range into the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas, little information is available on their ecology. We determined that the summer diet of feral hogs (n = 28) in the Davis Mountains of Texas was dominated by herbaceous material (38.6%) and roots and tubers (34.3%). Further investigation is needed to determine the impact of feral hog foraging behavior on the fragile floral and faunal communities of the Chihuahuan Desert.
