Wild Animal Believed to Be Wild Boar Appears in Downtown Gangneung... Captured on Dashcam

A wild animal, believed to be a wild boar, has appeared in downtown Gangneung, Gangwon Province.

At 9:36 PM on the 29th, the wild animal was spotted on a road in Ipam-dong, Gangneung.

The animal was captured on the dashcam of a vehicle passing by the area at the time.

Citizens who witnessed the animal suspect it is a wild boar based on its size and running posture.

However, no report was filed with the fire authorities, so no capture operation took place.

Wild boars are known to descend toward the foot of mountains where there are many earthworms to consume salt during the summer, leading to more frequent appearances in urban areas.

The informant said, "There were many apartment complexes nearby and many pedestrians taking a walk," adding, "I reported it because it was both dangerous and fascinating."
