Introducing Hoppy the wild boar

Last week we got some excellent footage of a wild boar (Sus scrofa) next to the River Congost in La Garriga. We had filmed this individual before and recognised him because of his hopping gait as he does not put any weight on one of his rear legs. Maybe the leg is broken or the foot is injured in some way. Though he may be in pain, he manages to travel a fair amount as the two areas where we have filmed him are not that close together. This week he was particularly interested in the camera and I am surprised that he did not knock the tripod over.
