i live in the forest of dean and the sightings can be sporadic.. one week you'll see some maybe 2 or 3 times in one place then might not see them for a few months.. with this warm weather its best to see them very early in the morning or just before sunset .
i was camping in this forest the other day and i was trying to sleep in my tent but could not because these boar where sniffing around my tent i was very afraid and scared my heart was thumping i thought they would attack me in my tent but they did not i could here them sniffing and i was too afraid to move around in case they heard me did not get any sleep thank you for sharing this video i wanted to see what they looked like p.s your very brave i would have took off running
you should never ever run. let THEM go, not you, it could startle them and lead them to attack. If you have to, throw a rock at it. (Or something like that) but yeah, 1st rule, never run. when you do feel like you are safe to go, show your hands, walk backwards slowly, until the bore forget about you.
It seems some people on the comments forget these are wild animals they will still charge u giving the chance. These have probably been fed by someone before that's why they are curious.
I got chased off by one in a far corner of Forest of Dean years ago, never ran so fast in my life, when I stopped running I turned around and could see the big alpha pig stood on a rise looking at me as if to say " Yeah these are my woods boy " !
So cool to see wild boar in uk, I’m planning a trip to see them this year, bringing camera traps to help increase chance of having a photo.Where my french side of family lives in France(we live in uk) they have lots of wild boar, but they are incredibly elusive.You’ll find dug up earth and tracks a plenty, and occasionally you’ll hear them from my uncle’s garden at night, but very rarely will you see one.That’s mostly because they get hunted regularly each year by anyone who has a hunting permit, so are almost entirely nocturnal.Never seen a wild one myself sadly, did have a big one right next to me in the dark walking back through vineyards last x mas, didn’t see it but certainly heard it and felt it move.
No, no food - I was just walking home after work. That part of the Forest is very similar to Puzzlewood (of Star Wars... fame) and very beautiful and unusual.
Very good close footage but I’m quite surprised the sow didn’t get aggressively protective of its piglets. I wouldnt cross a field of cows with calves and they’re domestic. I guess as you were there first and kept still, while they came to you, they didn’t see you as a threat.
She was showing signs of getting angry. The hair on the ridge was standing up and if they had become more erect and she starts chomping her teeth, she's telling you she's about to charge. I hunt wild boar in the US and can tell their behavior at a glance.
Don't talk rubbish. Boars are stupid animals. That's why they are prey animals. I've lives amongst them in the Malaysian jungle. They were easily the dumbest creatures I have seen. I spooked one whilst out trekking and ran straight into a tree 10m in front of it, bounced off, did the same thing again 2 more times before, on the 4th attempt, it ran around the tree. No sense whatsoever. As for top 4 smart animals, I couldn't say without Google, but humans, dolphins, various whales, tigers, lions, elephants, ants, various monkeys and apes, racoons, wolves, bears, etc are all clearly smarter than boars when observing their behaviour, and I'm sure there's dozens of animals smarter than boars if measured scientifically, i.e. number of folds on outer surface of their respective brains.
I spent 3 glorious summers in the forest of dean .never seen hogs but plenty of deer and foxes badgers and stot.plus snakes and tree frogs .I loved this forest but my van got broken in to on a walk . So i found that the locals were more animals than the wild life ! Little shits
Not a million miles away.. but closer to Bream. If you're coming along the B4231 from Lydney towards Bream, there's a gate on the left (before the lay-by on the left and the chicken farm).. it was down there. Not sure if this Google maps link will work, but here goes. GL15 6ez
The ridge on her back means she's getting angry. When she starts chomping her teeth, watch out. I hunt them in the USA with dogs. Mama hog means business right there. Be careful.
Really good footage and so close too.
Eleven minutes of stay calm, stay calm, stay calm. Interesting video

Wonderful, so beautiful and majestic animals
Thank you for not hurting them!
You should be happy the bait didn’t hurt him
They have been tamed by ppl feeding them and leaving food out no doubt. Lovely to see this in the UK.
Agreed

Nothing is more scary or concerning then waking up to find a bear in your campsite
Bet you felt like you was in Jurassic park lost world when the t rex came sniffing hahahah

So there is intelligent life in The Forest of Dean after all ... :;)
And it tastes so good!

I’m in the Forest of Dean now and I’ve caught a glimpse of one running across the path
@@XtraOrdinar-ystay safe they can be dangerous
I remember watching this video years ago
Cool video. Love to see them. Did you have food that they could smell?
No, no food - I was just walking home after work. That part of the Forest is very similar to Puzzlewood (of Star Wars... fame) and very beautiful and unusual.
Perfect prey for the panthers in those woods
Ain’t no panthers in there bro 😂
I’m going there in a few weeks and I can’t wait to see these amazing animals
@Bruce Wayne I would be even more happy to go, Lynx don’t attack humans and Wolves avoid us too. Bears? Yeah maybe.
I love the forest of Dean because I was born there
These things were not!

Boars seem to be quite clever and social.
Because they are
they are amongst the 4 most intelligent animals
They are yes, just don’t corner them

When you realise that there's still just a little bit of raw wild left in the UK.
Theres actually ALOT of raw wildlife left. Common misconception
There’s wallabies up north

1:00 in case you're looking for animation references
oh godsend
I wish animals would run away when they see humans.
Usually, they do. That's amazing that they approached so close, especially with piglets.
Why?
My guess is they've been fed by people before and were thinking it might happen again. Normally they are timid.
Wild boars are actually very aggressive. I dont know where you lot hesrd theyre timid
Fuck off
Very nice creatures.
Are they dangerous to humans ?
No
Very much suspect people have been feeding them. I think they are hoping for food.

Yeah lovely. But not when they are in your garden at 2 am ripping up lawn.
Love!

Be careful they can be aggressive and will kill a human hes doing rings and staring to see your reaction .

And wrong to have these here. Such a silly idea to rewild any animals that were here once. Bears next?
Utter crap, selfish humans world is ours alone mentality 🤬

very dangerous animals very nasty.

No. Humans are more nasty and dangerous
Rubbish
Shame you didn't catch one as we could have BBQ'd it!

What's wrong with eating them?
By the way these are used to be around humans no harm was done by filming them from close distance.
