These beasts, viewed safely from behind a fence, live at the New Forest Otter and Owl Sanctuary, along with many other animals, from wallabies and badgers to tiny harvest mice, which move so quickly I couldn't manage a photo. There are also a couple of hand-reared rescue deer which enjoy chewing scarves and shoelaces while you're wearing them.
The wild boar and his family seem to lead a fairly placid life. He has a ferocious-looking set of tusks, and is no lightweight. I don't know how many live in the wild in England, but I would hate to corner one.

What fab photos! And yes I think you would want to give the wild boar a fairly wide berth if you came across him!
Thanks Helen. Pleased you enjoyed the pics. :-)
My wife loves pigs! I think the New Forest is not far from here, maybe I'll take little Oliver on an outing.
Why do some pigs have hair and others dont? bizarre
