Conteúdo: | Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are one of the most successful invasive mammalian species in the world (Lowe et al. 2000). Many studies document the negative ecological and socio-economic consequences of feral pig invasions (Wolf and Conover 2003) and for this reason, most of the literature on feral pigs discusses methods of control and eradication (Choquenot et al. 1996, Cruz et al. 2005). Feral pigs were introduced to the Pantanal more than 200 years ago and can now be found throughout the floodplain (Mourão et al. 2002).  The ecological impact of this species in the Pantanal is still not well understood.
