Residents of the area Cabinet V Thessaloniki on the morning of Sunday, October 19, we witnessed an unusual sight: right in the middle of the streets, a herd of five wild boars. A video of their “city tour” quickly went viral. social networks.
The footage shows how animals slowly cross the road and rummage in flower beds, not paying any attention to people. One of the locals shouted off-camera: “Guys, did they come for coffee or signed up for the Super League?”

The police were late, the wild boars were not
The police were notified, but by the time the patrol arrived, the animals had already disappeared – “probably they decided to make it in time for the release of the weather forecast,” users joke. This is not the first such case: previously, wild boars were spotted in areas Panorama, Retsiki And Harilaumost often at night.
Why do wild boars go to town?

According to environmentalists, wild animals are increasingly appearing in populated areas due to reduction of natural range and searching for food. However, judging by the comments online, public opinion is less scientific: “It’s nature that sent us a delivery – with chestnuts!” – users write.
Conclusion: Thessaloniki has once again proven that you can go viral without festivals. All it takes is a couple of confident wild boars who are not afraid of cameras or city sidewalks.
