Not as exotic as a lion… probably just as likely to try and eat you.
More likely. Feral hogs will kill for the fun of it. Large herbivores are brutal.
I’m not surprised. I thankfully havent dealt with feral hogs but I know allegedly domesticated hogs will try to eat you if they get the chance.
Yeah, they can easily weigh more than a lion, and they travel in groups.
My step dad shot one in the face with a 9mm from about 6ft away. The bullet went in the skin, traveled around the outside of the skull under the skin, and out the back.
It just stunned the hog long enough for him to grab his rifle.
I wouldn’t want to get close enough to either of those animals for proper identification if I spotted them in the wild, either. Especially if they had their kids with them.
Right? Came in here to post something about not wanting to mess with a feral hog. heh
Do you really have to copy everything in the US? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Berlin_Lioness_Hunt
Spoiler: The “unidentified game animal” was a boar, too - as every expert had previously said.
So people cannot identify animals anymore and default to “lion”???
I know people who absolutely can’t get enough of those tick tock style videos where someone goes around crowded places asking people general knowledge questions and posting all the people who don’t know the answer.
It’s made me realize that even IF the average person is smart, there are tons and tons of people who don’t know anything, and some of them are proud of the fact they don’t know anything.
I remember being shown one guy who was attending some 4th of July thing, decked out in American flag stuff, looking like a republican’s idea of “patriotism on a stick” and he couldn’t come up with the opening words of the star spangled banner, and said he “doesn’t need to know that queer shit” because he “loves America”
Plenty of people can’t do more than addition and subtraction.
Tons of people have 4th grade or lower reading levels.
I fully believe someone saw a boar and called 911 to report a lion on the loose.
I once had the sheriff and animal control called to my house because someone passing by saw a bear, and there haven’t been any bear sightings in my area for many decades. It was my large dog. I told them to have fun looking around for it, and if they find one to let me know, trying (poorly) to hide my amusement.
So pigs mis-identified other pigs… this is a weird timeline.
