The man tried to pet the wild boar. The shocking recording circulated on the Internet

On Wednesday, January 21, in the evening, a herd of wild boars appeared in Legionowo near the tunnel on Targowa Street. The website legio24.pl reports that one of the adults separated from the rest and approached a man observing the animals. There is a video online showing a man and an animal carefully approaching each other.

Fortunately for the man, the boar remained calm even when the younger animal joined him. The animals were as curious as humans and did not react aggressively. It is clearly visible that a passer-by is trying to pet a large dog, but the animal is too afraid of him.

It is worth remembering that gentle behavior of wild boars is not the rule. Similar meetings can end in very different ways, often in a dangerous way for people. Experts also emphasize that wild boars should not be petted, even if they behave similarly to tame animals. Their nature is still unpredictable and poses a threat to humans.

Wild boars must not be fed because they get used to people and the food they provide. In this way, we attract more and more of them to cities, which may lead to unpleasant situations for both people and animals. If you see a wild boar near human settlements, it is best to immediately pick up the phone and notify the City Guard or the City Forests directly. However, if you witness a dangerous situation involving animals, you can immediately call the emergency number 112.
