The wild boar, on the other hand, has a bright golden forehead, black and blue, and a beard and neck. Of these, the female is duller than the male. Honey, fruits, insects, and worms are the food.
Both birds usually travel in small groups or in pairs. Flowers and leaves prey on other trees in abundance. The leafhopper is one of the best examples of snakes in nature.
