The case is interesting because wild boars are an unofficial symbol of Krynica Morska, or more broadly – the entire Vistula Spit. They even have their own monument on the promenade in Krynica, which we present in the title photo.
We have recently written about the fact that in this famous resort we can easily encounter wild boars walking among tourists and showing virtually no fear of humans. It is worth mentioning that we also have a similar problem with wild boars in the Tricity. where wild boars roam not only in recreational areas, but even in housing estates.
