“Surprised by a curious swimmer: a story of canine illusion in Pleubian” [Discover the images and videos]
Imagine this: you are peacefully walking along the beach, the wind in your hair and a serene mind, when suddenly, you encounter a “dog” that decides to take a little swim in the English Channel! Yes, yes, in Pleubian, a walk enthusiast almost alerted the SPA for “animal abuse” before realizing that the big furry creature wallowing in the water was actually a wild boar in the midst of an aquatic frenzy. Who would have thought that the local wildlife decided to try its hand at dog paddle, especially in the middle of December?! Between a swimmer in a swimsuit and a wild boar splashing around, the only question left is: who really has the best swimming technique? A guaranteed cocktail of surprise and hilarity!
An Unusual Swimmer in Pleubian
Last Saturday, a resident of Pleubian made a discovery that will surely stir talk in our dear little village. It all started during a walk in search of the adorable seals that populate our coasts. Instead, he stumbled upon a wild boar in the midst of a “sea bath.” Yes, you read that right—a wild boar. Who would have thought that the region’s wildlife wanted to take swimming lessons?
The Bath… or the Championship Swim?
The witness to this rather bizarre event, Francis Candat, initially thought this aquatic android was a big dog. After all, who wouldn’t confuse a bulldog the size of a rhinoceros with an adorable pooch? Moving on. In reality, Francis had the brilliant idea to pull out his binoculars—not to admire the birds this time, but to confirm that he was indeed facing an aeronautical wild boar in the sea, performing stunts worthy of the greatest swimming champions.
A “Jogging” in Salt Water
This brave wild boar, probably in search of new sensations, was not just splashing around in the waves. No, no! He was taking his time for a true aquatic jogging, while happily rubbing against the seaweed on the shores of Pors Rand. Morning joggers better watch out—the king of the tides has made his comeback!
Photos Worth Their Weight in Gold
Francis, with his amateur photographer’s eye, managed to capture shots worthy of a National Geographic—in just a few seconds on his phone. He then shared his findings on social media with a dose of sarcasm, claiming that “it was a funny swimmer at Pors Rand this afternoon.” It seems the trend of aquatic pets has just taken a new turn!
Why a Wild Boar at the Beach?
But what could have led a wild boar to dive into the waves? According to our expert friend Francis, it seems that our dear “Swimmer” fled from some intriguing bushes, seeking refuge by the rocks. Rather than going around the problem, our hero chose the shortest path through the water, proving that he knows how to swim very well… Or at least, to shape his image as a good swimmer. He could even open a swimming school for adventure-seeking wild boars!
An Unforgettable Moment
Who would have thought that Pleubian would become the trendy spot for summer enthusiasts? Can you imagine a gathering of animals at the beach if they understood that there’s also space for a good bath? Riding this trend, we could even consider launching an animal bathing festival. The slogan could be: “Come sniff the sea; even wild boars need it here!”
The Joys of Wild Life
In the end, this daring episode once again highlights that nature is full of surprises. If you ever encounter a wild boar at the beach, don’t forget your camera because such a spectacle is worth immortalizing! In the meantime, let’s keep an eye out for what nature has in store for us. Who knows, maybe a dolphin on roller skates or a cat on a paddleboard next time? Reality often surpasses fiction in Brittany!
