Dear Ana!
Additional references on reproduction of wild boar indicates different birth season in different areas.
A study of a populatuion in western Spain (Natural Park of Monfrague) shows birth season between February and April with a maximum in March, but another study of a population in North-West Italy (Varaita Valley) show that bith takes place all around the year with 65% farrows in April to September.
