Wild Boar by Lake Simcoe

Driving home to my house just south of Island Grove on the shore of Lake Simcoe, I saw a short-haired grey animal cross the road in front of me, heading for the lake.

It was stocky, had a long snout and legs like a mid-sized dog, a flat back.

It was not an Opossum (too small) and its back was too flat.

After researching pictures of animals, I believe it was a Wild Boar.

It was seen on November 17, 2011 at 8 p.m. on Lake Drive North.

Wow, that is interesting, I wonder if any other readers have spotted this animal in your area. If you have, please let us know.
