The Palawan bearded pig inhabits the Palawan island region. It uses many forest types, including secondary forest, and may visit wetlands and open landscape patches while feeding. It is known for rooting in soil and using wallows. Some information comes from residents' accounts and requires further research.
It eats fallen fruit, including figs, and food from cultivated land. It most probably also uses small soil animals, but their contribution has not been precisely established. It often spends the day in a sheltered forest hollow, seeking food at night.
Small groups and an ability to swim between islands have been described. Its nocturnal rhythm may partly respond to disturbance and hunting. The behaviours of individual populations are not yet well known.
