Bikes and Boars!
It’s always lovely to explore natural environments on foot or on a bicycle. It’s kinder to the environment, great exercise and gives you the time to appreciate the flora and fauna at a slower pace. It also allows you to interact with some animals – if they want to. And this wild boar certainly wanted to! In this short clip we see a young lady lose her lunch! The clip opens with her attempting to get back on her bike but the boar has other ideas. It has identified the purple package as a tasty snack and is not going to let it go. She swings her bike around but the boar puts its two front limbs up on the bicycle basket so that it can reach inside. It manages to grab the lunch in its mouth and with a soundtrack of screams and laughter, it heads back into the forest to enjoy the food in peace.
Wild Boar’s Usual Diet
Wild boars are found in Europe, Eurasia and Asia. They can grow up to nearly 400 pounds and are omnivores. In many parts of the world, they are hunted and eaten by humans and that includes in New Zealand, Hawaii and South Africa. So, perhaps this individual is just getting its own back! When they are not eating packed lunches, their diet is made up mainly of plants which make up about 90 percent of their intake. Their favorites are young leaves with fruits, grasses and berries. They unearth bulbs and roots from the ground using their strong snouts. In some regions that also eat nuts and flowers but will have a try at most things. The animal protein part of their diet comes from eggs, worms, snakes and lizards. If they come across prey left by another animal, they will also have a go at that!
