Nice sighting. The shutter speed was quite less, but you have captured it well. Wish the angle was less steep. Thanks for sharing.

How long did this sighting last? Did the wildboar not runaway after light was focused on it?

Hi Sabyasachi; Male wild boars in NSTR that I have seen till date, most of them will not run away, especially in the night, they will just move a little away and watch you intently. Looks like they do not fear and sometimes i felt they were just waiting for me to step down from car and charge. quite headstrong (or brave).

this sighting lasted more than 5 mins from very close quarters, boar was just sifting here and there and i was moving the car to get pictures, got half a dozen of snaps.
