With high reproduction rates, wild pigs will continue to grow rampantly if no predator is able to control the population. Unfortunately, the mountain lion, an important predator for the wild pig, has been trophy hunted despite laws being in place against it. Because of how often they are hunted and their low reproduction rates, mountain lions have had their population growth stunted and cannot maintain the wild pig population. It is important to educate farmers and hunters of this to ensure that the wild pig population does not continue to get out of hand. With less hunting of mountain lions, the population can recover, and wild pigs will return to a sustainable level, decreasing the amount of property damage done. This research illustrates the mathematical modeling of both species and study various factors that impact the population.en-USAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/A study on effects of mountain lion predation on wild pigsPresentation
