Police in the Zehlendorf district of Berlin, Germany recently stopped traffic to let a herd of over 20 wild boar and piglets safely cross a street. The video clip above captured this adorable event, which shows piglets rushing across the road followed by their parents. Further down the street, a police car blocks both lanes, as a mask-clad officer keeps an eye on the animals.
The Berlin police department shared the clip on Twitter, adding “sometimes the wilderness is right on our doorstep.”
About 3,000 boar live in Berlin, which has earned the city the nickname “the wild boar capital.” Residents and police have learned to co-exist peacefully with the wandering pigs, helping them when necessary. The animals are amazingly accustomed to their environment, living in a densely populated city, and are often seen navigating the roads using designated crosswalks.
“I never cease to be astonished,” Berlin’s wildlife commissioner Derk Ehlert told the Daily Mail, “by how wild boar and their young deliberately choose pedestrian crossings to cross roads.”
That was so kind and thoughtful of the police. Thank you so much.
ppl are sick
❤️❤️So Cute 😘🙏🙏Thanks , Love You 🌍🌏🌎🌹👋
“—— wild boar and their young deliberately choose pedestrian crossings to cross roads.”
We’re often told that pigs are intelligent. Sounds like it’s true!
Thank you for helping them cross the street.
reminds me of the original Jumanji when all the animals were running down the street. lol
God bless these individuals who did this life saving act for God’s creatures
