A bonus to the previous shot: wild boars

For those who so much wanted to see a photo of a wild boar after I published the previous photo :-) Must to confess, this is not taken in wilderness...these lovely piglets and their mom were enjoying a sunny afternoon in a pasture next to Viking museum in Lofoten islands, Norway. But I never was so lucky to take a photo of a wild boar in real wilderness. The only time I met a boar very closely was when I was 10 year old and had summer work getting weeds away from the field of sugar beets. It was away from civilisation, in the corner of forest, and we were only two girls working there when suddenly a big and angry boar appeared out of the trees and was running straight towards us. We dropped the weeding tools and hurried to the other edge of forest and climbed up the trees to not let the boar attack us... of course, I don't have a photo from that accident :-)
