Once you feel comfortable with ants, gather some more UA and try foxes. When foxes are piece of cake for you boars should be next.
Damn, you beat me to it. I even recommend just using frogs and rats to try out what each move does just so you can have an idea of what it does without anything fighting back. If you have a buddy you can spar with, that's even better.
As a note, each animal has widely differing tactics. Just because you've gotten used to foxes doesn't mean you're going to survive a fight with a boar, even with twice the UA/melee of the animal.

I've not gotten the gumption up to try this yet. I understand how it's done, just not brave enough.

When the intensity is high (Above 5? Need confirmation) They can use a move that gains them advantage, which you really don't want.
Depends on the animal. Boars have a move that grants advantage no matter what the intensity is at (not sure how many IP they need, though). Bear and foxes both have special moves they can use at low intensity. I'm not going to say this is bad advice, but it can be hard to keep intensity down when new to the combat system. The one big advantage is having some time to think of what move or attack to use next or have a chance to swap maneuvers. Of course, strangle is another good reason to keep it down.
