Wild boar that has been frightening walkers caught on camera

An elusive wild boar that has been frightening walkers in East Clare has been caught on camera.

The animal was seen this week on a walking trail in a wooded area near Tulla, but there have been no official reports of the boar attacking anybody.

Locals believe, however, that there is more than one boar in the area although just one animal has been seen at a time. They fear the boar will eventually venture closer to the village and could injure a child.
