Abstract
The ecological impact of feral pigs in the Pantanal is still not well understood. Through their rooting activities, feral pigs can disturb large areas. In the Pantanal, whe present at high densities, herds of feral pigs are reported by local people to cause extensive damage to pasture. In forested areas feral pigs uproot saplings and seedlings and may affect the recruitment of certain species.
