Wild Boar Documentary

When the females are in heat, the boars focus on the females, not the food. When they aren't in heat, the pecking order decides who gets the good stuff.

Domesticated pigs like the Mangalitsa behave the similarly. The little guys try to get a piece of the good stuff (in this case, a bag). The big guys normally get what they want, without much fighting:

I think these Mangalitsa pigs run a lot slower, perhaps because they are so fat:
