(2,626 posts)That's definitely a wild boar. Wish I knew the outcome. Wild boar are dangerous creatures. I hope the guy's ok.

(23,138 posts)Momma sow had been in the back 40, so we were told it's ok to come over. After a little bit momma sow came back, squealed with rage, and was chasing us. I was the littlest kid at 8 still in the pen and she was quickly right on my heels. I was totally terrified. Me and my cousins were all screaming as I was running for the fence. They yelled for me to jump up and grab their hands, but in my abject terror, I jumped over the 6 ft fence without touching it, and fell to the ground safely on the other side. 300-400 lb. of mad momma pig was so terrifying, I actually flew!

(23,138 posts)I just wish I had a video of it because I'd love to see how I actually did it. Of course when I was 8, cell phones didn't exist, don't even think we had remote controls them - truly the dark ages,

(38,322 posts)The photographer who captured the drama said the unidentified nudist was happy for her to share the images, which show him in bare-bottomed pursuit of the boar and her two piglets while fellow bathers look on in amusement.
Nature strikes back, wrote Adele Landauer, a personal coach, on Facebook. I showed the man the photos, he laughed heartily and gave me permission to make them public.
