Wild Pig Rushes Man Who Gets Too Close

Wild animals have their own temperament and it is advised that you do not approach them as most people do not know how an animal will react to them. That said, even trained experts can be caught by surprise when misreading wild animals.

This wild pig is minding her own business when this guy starts filming her…

Simply put the man in this video is hanging out next to a wild pig and talking at her. The pig is quite wary of him. He even mentions that her hair is standing up. Generally, when an animal’s hair is standing up it means that they are feeling defensive and scared or that they are excited or anxious. Sometimes it means that the animal is trying to intimidate a threat. By the way, did you know that pigs are not native to the Americas or Australia? In fact, some US states consider feral pigs as invasive species. This is mostly because they can be quite destructive, especially when looking for food. They were originally introduced by colonists and European explorers.
