From: An approach to assess stress in response to drive hunts using cortisol levels of wild boar (Sus scrofa)

Figure 4

Differences of cortisol levels of wild boar between each age class and sex. Female wild boar (f, n = 57) in general showed a higher cortisol concentration than males (m, n = 58). The age and gender groups combined show differences, with adult females (fa) having the highest and male yearlings (my) having the lowest cortisol levels. Different letters indicate a significant difference (e.g. significant higher cortisol levels in female adults compared to male adults, male yearlings, and female juvenile).
