Some pics from my phone (sorry for quality) 2 or 3 days ago.
Background: I'd seen a family of wild boar near the dog center once before. The other day I saw one male juvenile as we drew up. As I fed our (& half the Tessadban's ) outside dogs, the smell of dry food & Hilton leftovers must have been too much for this chap. He ignored snapping jaws & barks & stayed to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

Blimey Dawn, he's a fair sized beastie. I didn't know that wild boar existed in Thailand - if they did, I wouldn't expect them to be so near the metropolis. I thought that they were forest animals. Best keep your distance, I've heard that they can be quite vicious - they have incredibly strong jaws and teeth. I guess both you and the dogs should give him the respect he commands. Mind you, looking at the pics, I think the dogs already know the score...

I think they live in the forested hills behind the center, VS.
Off topic - no. Had no real time to look what with my domestic helper & center worker sodding off on the same day. They gave me 30 mins notice, though, which was nice of them. I've been working my socks off just trying to keep on top of stuff at home & in the center. Am getting some help in center, now, though. Will be looking at a house in Pranburi on Tuesday. Fingers crossed.
