I do love them. I'm lucky enough to live in an area where there are a lot of them to look at. I was once walking in a nearby nature preserve, quietly, and came around a corner to find myself face to face with a wild boar! I had a tripod that I tried to place between us and he, luckily for me, thought it was a gun and disappeared. He was probably 220 lbs (100kg). But he was beautiful.
James, wild boars are quite abundant in Germany - the English wikipedia says: Recently, Germany has reported a surge in the wild boar population. According to one study, "German wild boar litters have six to eight piglets on average, other countries usually only about four or five." Boar in Germany are also said to be becoming increasingly 'brazen' and intruding further into cities such as Berlin. BTW - the females are the ones to fear ;-)
This is more a daily feed than a daily blog.
Photos are resized or may be cropped - that's the only post-processing I do.
The quotes: it is essential to me to only quote from things I am currently reading ... I must admit it is sometimes lopsided ... reading a 1000 page novel takes some time ;-)

Oh, that is just wonderful.
Another photogenic makes an appearance in this blog!
James, seems like you love animals, hm? Thank you. I was glad there has been a fence between me and this guy - his eyes were yellow ... .
AB, thanks.
