Wild hogs introduced to Texas from Europe became feral after the

hogs escaped from the ranches where they lived. Feral hogs are omnivores
that feed on native plants, crops, and small animals. Feral hogs can damage
an ecosystem by rooting through the soil to look for food and trampling
small plants. Which types of native organisms do feral hogs most likely

Therefore, they compete with both herbivores and carnivores for food sources.Feral hogs can cause significant damage to an ecosystem by rooting through the soil and trampling small plants. They can also disturb the soil and contribute to erosion. Feral hogs have become a major problem in many parts of the United States, including Texas.
