Just recalling this wild video out of Niigata Prefecture in central Japan where a boar attacked a snowboarder on the slopes of Alpen Blick Snow Resort in Myoko City back in 2023. After taking one snowboarder to the ground, the boar switched directions targeted another man who was able to defend himself by swinging his snowboard at it. NHK reported resort officials and police estimated the animal was 1-meter long.
Around 5:06 p.m., emergency responders were dispatched for a report of a surfer who was possibly bitten by an otter. Lifeguards arrived to find a group of surfers surrounding another surfer in the water, as well as an otter who appeared to be sitting on the victim's board, the fire department said. The surfer was pulled from the water and evaluated by medical personnel.
