He was moving
because there was another boar chasing him. The two had a surprise meeting, neither was aware of the other until they had visuals on each other.
The larger boar had been fishing in his favorite spot when this younger boar approached but the younger guy was quickly chased off and didn't go back.
It was amazing watching how fast this guy was moving.
Tim, Dana and I had been watching the situation unfold from our spot on the other side of the river and were almost expecting to see a physical confrontation but in actuality, we were glad things didn't go that way.
Bears don't go looking for fights. The last thing a bear wants to be in the wild is injured. That can sometimes end in a slow death, or maybe a quick one. But they don't want to do anything that makes them vulnerable so most of the time, they will avoid a physical altercation.
The motion blur in this is from in the camera. I didn't fake it up so to speak. My shutter speed was on the slow side (as you can see from my exif data).
