This wild boar was shot on farmland in the south of England.
Escapes from wild boar farms have led, during the 1990's, to two free-living, breeding populations in England, one in Kent & East Sussex, and a smaller one in Dorset. The animals appear to be pure-bred wild stock.
Over 40 wild boar have been killed in these areas since 1995, by shooting and on the road. |
