Suids are intelligent and adaptable animals.
Adult females (sows) and their young travel in a group (sounder; see List of animal names), while adult males (boars) are either solitary, or travel in small bachelor groups.
Males generally are not territorial, and come into conflict only during the mating season.

Litter size varies between one and twelve, depending on the species.
The mother prepares a grass nest or similar den, which the young leave after about ten days.
Suids are weaned at around three months, and become sexually mature at 18 months.
In practice, however, male suids are unlikely to gain access to sows in the wild until they have reached their full physical size, at around four years of age.
In all species, the male is significantly larger than the female, and possesses more prominent tusks.
