Summary
Home World Status: 15.08.2026, 08:30 Comments Follow us on Google A wild boar crosses a road. © Paul Zinken/dpa In Setúbal in Portugal, several wild boar moved through the streets at night and even crossed a busy road. A video published by a local resident on social networks (source in Portuguese) shows a group of these mammals using a pedestrian crossing at night on a road where cars are traveling. Residents report that it is no longer uncommon to see the animals near houses and streetlights, where they are under cover of the dark.
Furthermore, Galapinhos is considered particularly vulnerable to such encounters, as the beach is deeply embedded in the Serra da Arrábida. There are particularly many sightings on the Portuguese beaches of Portinho da Arrábida, Creiro and Galapinhos in the district of Setúbal. Especially in densely populated neighbourhoods, it is feared that there could be dangerous situations on the road or in direct encounters.
In addition, Further footage shows the animals in green areas burrowing with their snouts in the ground – apparently in search of food that humans have carelessly left behind. This includes not approaching the animal, withdrawing slowly when it comes closer, not feeding it, and not leaving any leftover food outside of garbage bins.
