In the early morning on August 5, a wild boar sighted by police stationed near the U.S. Consulate Fukuoka. The boar then fled into the neighboring Ohori Park and Maizuru Park. At 11:50, the 70 police led team finally captured the one meter-long boar. According to Fukuoka City, it was the first time that a boar entered Ohori Park. Inoshi (wild boars) are sometimes found in residential areas this time of the year. Residents are advised to maintain distance from them. Sources: Mainichi / KBC
