On June 6, 2024, a water boar escaped from a zoo in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan due to a keeper leaving a gate open, prompting a search operation in the nearby forest. The zoo, known as the 'Nikko Monkey Army,' has been raising water boars since 2022, with this particular boar named 'Iroha' being the fourth in their care. Although no injuries have been reported, the public is advised not to approach the boar as it may attack and can run at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour. Anyone who spots the boar is urged to contact the zoo for assistance.
