Two female tourists were swimming in clear blue water when they suddenly encountered a ferocious wild boar swimming after them, turning their vacation into a nightmare.

On July 29, a tourist named Aleks Jevtic posted a video on social media recording the scene of two female tourists comfortably swimming in the clear blue water off the island of Ithaca in Greece when they were suddenly chased by a wild boar. Photo: TikTok/aleks-jevtic.

Accordingly, the two tourists hurriedly swam towards the boat. Aleks posted the video with a rather humorous caption: “The experience of swimming in Greece and being chased by a wild boar, it was really different!”. Photo: TikTok/aleks-jevtic.

Tourist Aleks also shared more about the incident: "At first, from afar, it (the wild boar) looked quite cute, but I didn't expect it to follow so closely." Photo: Facebook.

Tourist Aleks' video quickly attracted more than 4 million views in just a few days. Some netizens left comments and expressed surprise at the wild boar's swimming ability. Photo: Public Domain.

Local residents say it is not uncommon for wild boars to appear near the coast, especially on islands like Ithaca or Atokos. Photo: xpatathens.

Over the years, some Mediterranean ecosystems such as marshes, pine forests, sand dunes, and even beaches have become home to wild boar populations. Photo: Insider.

When fully grown, each individual wild boar can weigh up to 130 kg. Due to rapid urbanization, wild boars have lost their habitat. Therefore, they have "invaded" many places in Europe, causing great damage to crops. Photo: The Times.

Wild boars originated in Southeast Asia, and began appearing in Europe 5 million years ago. This animal became a popular food source in many places. They live in herds and have the ability to reproduce quickly. Photo: keeptalkinggreece.

Faced with this situation, authorities and people in Europe have carried out campaigns to destroy wild boars, ending the habit of feeding them... Photo: Natgeo.
