2. {"question"=>"What is the difference between a peccary and a wild boar?", "answer"=>"While both peccaries and wild boars are large, hoofed mammals with robust, bristly bodies and powerful snouts, there are some key differences between them. Peccaries are native to Central and South America, while wild boars are found in Europe, Asia, and North America. Peccaries tend to be larger than wild boars, with some males reaching up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length and weighing up to 120 kilograms (265 pounds). Wild boars, on the other hand, typically weigh between 50 and 150 kilograms (110 and 330 pounds), with some males reaching up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length. Another important difference between peccaries and wild boars is their social structure. Peccaries are highly social animals that live in large, organized herds. These herds are typically led by a dominant male, who is responsible for protecting the herd from predators and rival herds. Wild boars, on the other hand, are solitary animals that live alone or in small, loose groups. These groups are typically led by a dominant male, who is responsible for protecting the group from predators and rival groups. Overall, while both peccaries and wild boars are large, hoofed mammals with robust, bristly bodies and powerful snouts, there are some key differences between them in terms of their distribution, size, social structure, and other characteristics."}
