100kg boar takes a stroll along the highway

A 100-kilogramme "wild boar" let out of its pen for a walk instead wandered off onto a nearby elevated highway, startling motorists and disrupting traffic on Monday. His owner took more than an hour to sweet-talk him into returning home.

A 100-kilogram wild boar escaped its enclosure and ventured onto an elevated highway in Pathum Thani on Monday, causing disruption to traffic. The boar, named Jao Lek by its 64-year-old owner Supachai, had been let out for a walk the previous day. Supachai spent over an hour coaxing the boar back home, a distance of more than 2 kilometers away. Local residents had reportedly seen the boar wandering around the area at night in recent days.
