It's a Boar!

At least it may be if you're living in Berlin, where wild boar have embraced urban living. (Yo, A, is this part of the new urbanist concept?)

My native town recently experienced much excitement when it became known that a domestic pig that went feral was roaming the environs. And that was only one pig (albeit a very BIG pig and well mannered) imagine having lots of them hurtling about. (Medieval hunters viewed boar as a dangerous (and therefore thrilling) quarry.) The boar seem to have lost some of their edge though so Berliners are unfazed.

Just wait until the raccoons do get into their attics.
