Rare footage: A group of wild boars was spotted near Kryvyi Rih (PHOTOS).

Not far from Kryvyi Rih, local photographer Anatoliy Salnyk witnessed a rare and thrilling spectacle: he captured a large herd of wild boars. The photo, taken a day ago, presents a stunning scene: a significant number of animals gathered together. This was reported by "Vidomo," referencing the "Nature of Kryvorizhya" community on Facebook.

Wild boars, known for their caution and elusive lifestyle, allowed Anatoliy to approach closely enough to take detailed photographs. According to the photographer himself, the animals' behavior genuinely intrigued him - the boars showed no signs of aggression and appeared quite calm and "tame," as if accustomed to the presence of humans in this area.

Interestingly, the location where the shooting took place is situated east of Kryvyi Rih, in an area characterized by lush vegetation and an abundance of food resources, which likely attracted such a large herd of wild animals. This region is home to oak and hornbeam forests, meadow steppes, and ravines, providing animals with shelter and ample food throughout the year.

The availability of sufficient water also plays a crucial role in the habitat selection for wild boars.

Anatoliy humorously stated that he "negotiated" with the boars for regular photo sessions, highlighting the unusual nature of that unforgettable encounter.
