Wild boars are starting to leave houses, summer cottages, and roads in Moscow and the Moscow region - their dream begins, males stop fearing people and can attack without reason. The peak of the breeding season is between November and December. Boars look for females, get excited and can show aggression. Animals also hibernate before winter and go to summer huts and garbage sites for food, while roads and buildings intersect their usual path. A random encounter in the forest is now especially dangerous: a boar can accelerate to 40 km/h and cause serious injury with its tusks. Therefore, it is forbidden to approach there for stories or try to drive it away. Especially if you encounter a female with boars. Drivers should be more careful near forests and green areas: a wild boar can suddenly jump under the wheels. If it is already on the road, you should slow down and let the whole group pass - the rest, including piglets, may end up after the first. There is no need to point at it, turn sharply or get out of the car for photography. According to MASH data for 2025, within three years the number of wild boars in Moscow and the region increased from 500 to 650 individuals.
