The poor thing :-(
I'm glad it got out. Hopefully it'll attract public support and become a minor celebrity. It looks a bit like Babe to me :-)

The one that escaped in the Forest of Dean never got recaptured as far as I know and has almost certainly found some pals to team up with. There was an article in this month's BBC Wildlife magazine about wild boar living within the urban surroundings of Berlin with some nice pictures of the cute stripy little ones dodging traffic to cross the road. There's 8,000 of them in the city apparently.

How can it be a wild boar if it was in captivity?
