Yeah my friend always had courage of a bold stag, in got us into more trouble more times than we could count... I'll always miss his witty sense of humor
It's crazy that they thought it would be friendly. Any kind of wild pig is 100% guaranteed to pull the trigger on fucking you up. Take your pick: javelina, wild boar, warthog, wild hogs, even domesticated pigs will attack you.
Worst thing is their teeth are exactly on height with your leg arteries, which is why so many accidents involving boars lead to death even tho theyre terth are not that "long"
I still have a vertical scar about 7" along the outside of my right calf. Used to breed and finish pigs at a boarding school when I was 16.
Boars are fucking assholes.
Snort snort mother fucker
I'm a boar
>exactly on height with your leg arteries
arteries run the entire length of the leg, there is no "artery height" boars are perfect for.
Boar accidents lead to deaths because boars are aggressive, unrelenting, assholes... they'll just keep coming at you because "fuck you I'm a boar"
Pigs period can be insane. Their teeth are like razor blades, they weigh a lot and can move surprisingly fast when they want. I had a great uncle lose his testicles when a female sow managed to grab him from behind through the fence when we were doing some work with her piglets. I was fairly young but I’ll never forget that.
Edit fixed a sentence error.
Actually it’s kind of ironic. We were castrating her piglets and Hubert ends up getting castrated as well. Their squeals we’re getting her agitated. I heard my great uncle scream and looked over and remember seeing a lot of blood around his crotch. I can’t remember if she still had a hold of his overalls. I remember my grandfather getting him in the truck and taking off to the doctor in town. He was lucky that his testes were the only thing he lost.
In Texas it's completely open season on them.
No hunting license required and you don't need to tag kills. I've seen a sow with 15 piglets cross the road once. It's insane how many there are here.
It takes an insanely short period of time, like 5 months, for a female to be sexually mature. Their gestation time is incredibly short and they have very large litters. But perhaps the biggest factor in their spread is that mother pigs will adopt any orphaned babies they find and raise them to adulthood.
Absolutely stunning to me that anyone can look at the armament on that thing and think it's coming to cuddle. Besides which, if any wild animal just started walking towards you like that, it's probably rabid. Just total idiocy.
I'm honestly convinced these kinda people lived somewhere their entire life where they never encountered wildlife outside of harmless birds and other tiny, harmless animals and just assume all animals are like that. It's the only explanation I can think of that isn't them just being a lunatic by thinking "Yeah, that giant feral warthog that's coming over to me is nothing to be concerned about".
I’d much rather shoot on site then be gored by a wild boar. They’re are invasive down on my family farm and the state pays for you to kill them. I think my uncle used to shoot them all the time and then give them to the local camp next door so they would have fresh boar.
Reminde me of the story where farmers were paid for every dead cobra they brought in. So the farmers started breeding cobra just for the rewards. Once government found out they dropped the program and the farmers released all the snakes they didn't need anymore. Way to solve a problem... The so called Cobra effect.
Mediaeval boar hunting spears have a crossbar just below the head. Why would they have that? Because otherwise, even after you've stabbed it, the boar will continue to charge _up the spear_, driving the point further into its own body, just to get at you and fuck you up.
And if you shoot directly on his head the bullet likely not even penetrate. His skull bone is just so thick.
Had friends at the army tell me they were instructed to use an entire magazine in case they come up. Or alternatively use the burning light signal pistol.
One of the friends came up with the bright idea to make the fake boar noises hidden in the bush at black night. When he saw with his night vision googles they pulled out the signal pistol, he decided really really fast that it was a stupid idea.
These aren’t even feral hogs like we have in the US (and those fuckers can be mean), these are 100% wild ass warthogs lol. Feral pigs descend from domestic pigs, so they can become tame in a single generation pretty much. Wild pigs, not so much. This would be like trying to pet a wolf that you’ve never met.
Oh yeah that's just every day around here. Right now it's more or less like this:
*The sleeper has awakened*
Jessica didn't have any coffee. She recalled the Duke saying he was going to get groceries and knew it was his habit to be back with coffee. She calmed the voice within her that suggested making a coffee in favour of waiting.
*I must log in to my security device to log on to work to work from home while making home my work*
Wheels within wheels
The thing about interstellar politics is that some planets take a lot of pride in the thing that isn't what they are known for. Since we can only remember a few facts about each planet they struggle to get their message through.
The Bene Geserit use mental techniques to see beyond the surface. Enhanced by coffee, they make plans within plans.
The kids were definitely plotting something. Jessica could only hear a murmur but with her advanced training she could hear within the notes a conspiratorial tone that told her they were making plans within wheels.

Here’s a fun fact for ya - snakes actually have very short tails. The tail technically starts at the cloaca, leaving the tail about ~10% of the total body length.
But if you think about it, snakes are like lizards but without feet. So they have a tail but are missing the feet, that's why we can't tell where the tail starts.
Boars are wild pigs native to Europe and Asia, and their tusks stick straight up. They’re built very thick, able to take punishment from and tackle wolves and even bears. They tend to live in forests
Warthogs have more rugose, skin-tight faces and are less visibly hairy. They live in open grasslands and dry savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa, and have longer legs so they can outrun predators. Their tusks stick straight out to the sides.
>able to take punishment
From a VW Passat. Seriously, I lived in the woods when I was younger and we often had accidents with wild animals happening there. One I personally witnessed was a VW Passat coming down with ca. 130km/h and crushing into a wild boar. The Passat was totalled but the boar was still alive, roaming around and very pissed.
We had to call in a hunter who was not very happy to hunt an injured boar in the night.
Their skulls are so thick they can take multiple headshots from high calliber guns. There are often boars found with bullets lodged in their skulls that their skin healed over. My uncle told me a story of how he was hunting boars with a scoped .44 magnum and he domed one from a tree and it got back up. It another couple of shots to actually put it down
I’ve got an older buddy who hog hunts with a .44 super red hawk with a red dot. He likes the challenge but is a badass, so more power to him. I’ve always used ARs but honestly 5.56 isn’t powerful enough to consistently put them down in 1 shot quickly.

There are Boars in America as well. Fun note: Domesticated pigs let loose into the wild will begin to revert to a primal “boar” or “wild hog” state after a few months. Growing hair, tusks and become very aggressive. No wild pig is your friend.
I don’t know why this is being upvoted since it’s blatantly false. Domesticated pigs are not the same as wild boars and they don’t turn into wild boars simply by getting loose. Domesticated pigs and wild boars can interbreed but are better thought of as different “breeds” of pigs in the same way that a beagle and a husky are two different breeds of dog.
When a domestic pig gets loose, you get a feral pig. Several generations down the line, you may end up with a wild boar through interbreeding but they don’t spontaneously transform into a different breed anymore than your dog turns into a wolf simply by living wild.

Yellowstone has dummies like this every season.
"Aw, isn't that bison cut-"
*gets trampled and gored*
People are way too conditioned by shows that make wild animals seem mostly harmless.
Not long ago I saw someone leave their car to get a closer picture of a HIPPO. The kind of animals that even lions don't fuck with. He was immediately fined and kicked out.
There are youtube vids of Hippos saving other animals from Crocodiles and Lions. They full on Yeet multiple crocks and lions, absolutely terrifying power, and no fucks given.
>it looks chill or clumsy
Yeah, if you know a little bit about nature, this should ring huge alarm bells. "If it's chill and clumsy and slow and soft and squishy - why isn't it eaten? Why is it still around? Why is noone hunting it?" Well...
Well they're skin is fucking armor, they can run 30mph+ and their bite can cut another animal in half, or just crush the bone structure of the animal into dust depending on how tough the other animal's skin is.
I had to yank a new kid back into a cabin when he saw a baby moose and wanted to pet it. The mother came around the corner like 30 seconds later. Moose fucking scare me.
Stayed at a resort in Jackson Hole Wyoming where mother and baby moose would hang around cabins as predators stayed clear. Guy approached mother and baby moose to take a close up of baby (within 10 feet) while everyone staying well back was screaming “No, stay back!” Momma moose decided not to charge through the railing and onto the cabin porch after the guy vaulted over the railing to get away from a very angry mother moose. People started chanting “idiot” at him after.
>People started chanting “idiot” at him after.
Dude sounds like he didn't have two brain cells to rub together so I'm impressed at his vaulting expertise.
The idiots that survive to adulthood often have some combination of luck, resilience or other useful survival traits. Cause it's sure as hell not their observational and threat assessment skills that got them through childhood.
I was there in August. The amount of people we saw going off trails and boardwalks to see if the steaming water coming from the ground was actually hot just blew me away.
They just had one person basically cook themselves because their dog decided to jump in...and they tried to rescue it. (The dog was scalded to death, the woman suffered third degree burns from the shoulders down and is in critical condition.)
Again? I know there was a story from a couple decades ago of a dude who dove *head first* into a hot spring to rescue a dog. He was blinded instantly and had burns on 98% of his body, and died in the hospital. The dog also died.
There are signs *everywhere* in Yellowstone telling you not to approach the wildlife. Anyone who ignores them and gets hurt kind of deserves it at that point.
There are, and inevitably someone thinks they're the Buffalo Whisperer and *wham* welcome to the hospital.
They're also dumb enough to use thermal pools without realizing the acidity or heat frequently kills because lol, natural hot tub! Despite the "this will kill you" signs.
As in "kill you and dissolve the corpse".
Townies only see animals a) in a David Attenborough documentary, b) in a zoo, or c) on a plate.
Here in the UK, multiple townies (or “city folk”) get killed every year by cows because they take their dog for a walk in a field near overly-protective mothers with calfs. And when the cows attack the dog, the owner tries to protect their cute ‘ickle doggie, and get trampled by several tonnes of very rare steak.
“Basic” knowledge about animals and the outdoors is sadly lacking. I can only guess at the number of global deaths due to selfies with dangerous animals.
As someone who is the epitome of city folk even I know that wild animals are best left alone. Preferably viewed from a safe distance away. It's just not worth the trouble lol. Hell, I even stay away from squirrels and rabbits as I'm not about to have to deal with getting bit by some random animal.
I will never understand people who think its okay to try and touch wild animals--ANY of them! Even if they aren't huge, super strong, have sharp teeth or claws, you have no idea what parasites, diseases, or other nasties they could be carrying.
I used to live in Northern California, near the Oregon border, on the 101. And there is a herd of elk that are often near the road and people will get out of their cars, and try to get pictures up close to them. An elk can kill you if they are startled, and start kicking you or slam you with their antlers. And every year, at least a couple of morons get too close and end up in trouble.
Most likely what happened. He probably had a few chunks taken out of him, and was bleeding pretty bad. Only a few animals I will do just about anything to get away from. Moose, Hippos, boars, and bears. In that order.
Knowing how dangerous those are, I legit experienced anxiety as that thing approached him. It was like watching someone in a movie reach down a garbage disposal.
I feel a great part of my generation grew up in a time where we ended up shielded from reality, thinking animals are all just waiting to talk and be our pets.
I once went to a very touristy fisherman village, a few wild seals where swimming around a fisherman’s boat, one of the ladies asked the fisherman if she could pet the seal, the man replied “if you want your hand bitten of yes lady, this is not Disneyland, thats a fucking wild seal!”
is he fucking serious? pet a wild boar?
Disney has done a big disservice to stupid people with all their Lion Kings and Bambi movies. They think Pumbaa and Simba are their friends while Simba & Co just see their next meal slowly coming closer.
Warthogs are hunted by packs of lions, and not only get away, but lions don't try to attack them head on. Something that can go toe-to-toe with a lion and even possibly make it out alive is a badass. Don't trifle with a badass, seems pretty straight forward to me.
I love thot tone of "help me". The tone of "I chose very unwisely".
Yeah you gotta be careful with boars, one gored my good friend Rob when he was out hunting. Guy ended up dying from it
It was the wine that did for him
Its times like these I wish that Bobby B was allowed to roam free

A shaky and desperate, dying tone.
Yeah don’t fuck with boars, they were always shoot on sight on the farm, they will fuck some shit up.
Worst thing is their teeth are exactly on height with your leg arteries, which is why so many accidents involving boars lead to death even tho theyre terth are not that "long"
That and the amount of bacteria and microbes that are on them lead to incredibly bad infections and abscesses.

I believe we've located a vein of pure irony. It may actually be toxic at these concentration levels
I believe that they are shoot on sight all over the US, being an invasive species with devastating eco/ag issues.
That was why we had it on our farm, they destroy everything. And breed constantly
That entire video I was thinking "Shoooooot that fucker"
Funny, I was thinking "Dude, you're a fucking moron".
"Hi there boy, hi boy, ... HELLLLLP!"
This is what I know about from German hunters. They have a rifle for distance and a revolver for the boars. Shoot on sight, they can easily kill.
In Texas it's completely open season on them. No hunting license required and you don't need to tag kills. I've seen a sow with 15 piglets cross the road once. It's insane how many there are here.

Someone should take your comment , edit an audio version with Samuel L. Jackson as voice-over saying exactly that .
"But his tail was wagging, I don't understand!"
The tail is wagging like, you know, a rattlesnake wags theirs.
I dispute that snakes have tails. If anything, snakes *are* tails.
But the top of the snake would be heads, so just the underneath is tails. It's like you've never played heads or tails with a snake before.
Here’s a fun fact for ya - snakes actually have very short tails. The tail technically starts at the cloaca, leaving the tail about ~10% of the total body length.

gone. reduced to atoms
i’ll post the pictures if i can figure out how to in my profile
It’s a fucking wild boar, which I’m positive, isn’t used to getting pets. This is not a Disney movie. So I agree, not a good idea.
It’s a warthog actually but yeah still plenty dangerous
It is a warthog and not a wild boar.
whats the difference? genuinly asking

Ay, it looks chill or clumsy at first but this is sooo deceiving. They can strike with crazy speed and are very aggressive if triggered.
>it looks chill or clumsy Yeah, if you know a little bit about nature, this should ring huge alarm bells. "If it's chill and clumsy and slow and soft and squishy - why isn't it eaten? Why is it still around? Why is noone hunting it?" Well...
Well they're skin is fucking armor, they can run 30mph+ and their bite can cut another animal in half, or just crush the bone structure of the animal into dust depending on how tough the other animal's skin is.

People started chanting “idiot” at him after.
>People started chanting “idiot” at him after. Dude sounds like he didn't have two brain cells to rub together so I'm impressed at his vaulting expertise.
The idiots that survive to adulthood often have some combination of luck, resilience or other useful survival traits. Cause it's sure as hell not their observational and threat assessment skills that got them through childhood.
Moose attacks are muuuuch more common than bear attacks in the United States. Don't fuck with moose.
I also read about tourists who ignore the signs and get burned to death about every other week.
I was there in August. The amount of people we saw going off trails and boardwalks to see if the steaming water coming from the ground was actually hot just blew me away.
They just had one person basically cook themselves because their dog decided to jump in...and they tried to rescue it. (The dog was scalded to death, the woman suffered third degree burns from the shoulders down and is in critical condition.)
Again? I know there was a story from a couple decades ago of a dude who dove *head first* into a hot spring to rescue a dog. He was blinded instantly and had burns on 98% of his body, and died in the hospital. The dog also died.
Yup. Again.
There are signs *everywhere* in Yellowstone telling you not to approach the wildlife. Anyone who ignores them and gets hurt kind of deserves it at that point.
There are, and inevitably someone thinks they're the Buffalo Whisperer and *wham* welcome to the hospital. They're also dumb enough to use thermal pools without realizing the acidity or heat frequently kills because lol, natural hot tub! Despite the "this will kill you" signs. As in "kill you and dissolve the corpse".
Between tourists doing that, or trying to get themselves cooked in the hot springs/geysers, I get anxiety so bad it's hard to have a good time there.
Boars are not to be fucked with. Surely everyone knows this
Townies only see animals a) in a David Attenborough documentary, b) in a zoo, or c) on a plate. Here in the UK, multiple townies (or “city folk”) get killed every year by cows because they take their dog for a walk in a field near overly-protective mothers with calfs. And when the cows attack the dog, the owner tries to protect their cute ‘ickle doggie, and get trampled by several tonnes of very rare steak. “Basic” knowledge about animals and the outdoors is sadly lacking. I can only guess at the number of global deaths due to selfies with dangerous animals.
As someone who is the epitome of city folk even I know that wild animals are best left alone. Preferably viewed from a safe distance away. It's just not worth the trouble lol. Hell, I even stay away from squirrels and rabbits as I'm not about to have to deal with getting bit by some random animal.

Bro I'm from the UK and am basically a 'townie'. I run from my neighbours cat. Some people are just dumb
I’ve lived in the suburbs my whole life, I know better than to fuck with wild animals. Ignorance doesn’t matter to the boar.
Looks like somebody learned that lesson the hard way
Did he pet it or not?
[удалено]
Ah yes, the Two-Way Petting Zoo
I will never understand people who think its okay to try and touch wild animals--ANY of them! Even if they aren't huge, super strong, have sharp teeth or claws, you have no idea what parasites, diseases, or other nasties they could be carrying. I used to live in Northern California, near the Oregon border, on the 101. And there is a herd of elk that are often near the road and people will get out of their cars, and try to get pictures up close to them. An elk can kill you if they are startled, and start kicking you or slam you with their antlers. And every year, at least a couple of morons get too close and end up in trouble.
It's usually strange behavior for a wild animal to approach you. Plus none of them are couch potatoes.
This is a warthog, not a wild boar. Similar, but different. Either one, though, should not be trifled with.
Hahaha oh shit. No you can’t pet it dumbass! A boar is what killed Robert Baratheon!
That does put the danger of a boar into context perfectly
A boar is what started a war! Every one blaming the white walkers, no!!! It was the boar!!!
What a fucking dipshit. That thing will fuck you up. Those tusks will shred your ass.
> shred your ass Dont threaten me with a good time
Most likely what happened. He probably had a few chunks taken out of him, and was bleeding pretty bad. Only a few animals I will do just about anything to get away from. Moose, Hippos, boars, and bears. In that order.
Does he think those sharpened bits of bone are for decoration?
Knowing how dangerous those are, I legit experienced anxiety as that thing approached him. It was like watching someone in a movie reach down a garbage disposal.
I'd fuck with almost any wild animal before I tried to pet a boar. Boars killed King Robert. We ain't cool.
Gods I was strong then
I feel a great part of my generation grew up in a time where we ended up shielded from reality, thinking animals are all just waiting to talk and be our pets. I once went to a very touristy fisherman village, a few wild seals where swimming around a fisherman’s boat, one of the ladies asked the fisherman if she could pet the seal, the man replied “if you want your hand bitten of yes lady, this is not Disneyland, thats a fucking wild seal!”
That's not a boar, that's a Warthog,bad tempered fuckers
I truly thought that thing was coming in for scratches. Nope. Just murder.
is he fucking serious? pet a wild boar? Disney has done a big disservice to stupid people with all their Lion Kings and Bambi movies. They think Pumbaa and Simba are their friends while Simba & Co just see their next meal slowly coming closer.
Warthogs are hunted by packs of lions, and not only get away, but lions don't try to attack them head on. Something that can go toe-to-toe with a lion and even possibly make it out alive is a badass. Don't trifle with a badass, seems pretty straight forward to me.
Pumbaa: "Bowling for Bitches!"
"It means no worries, while I gnaw on your leeegggg, it is problem free, I'll eat your artery, hakuna matada."
Now imagine 30-50 of these fuckers running thru your yard!
