Il cinghiale è un animale pericoloso?

Wild boars are increasingly numerous in cities: Rome, but also European cities like Barcelona, ​​are being "invaded" by wild boars, which arrive in residential areas in search of food. But how dangerous are they, and how should we behave if we encounter them? If they don't arrive in the city, they move to the countryside. And here the real problems begin, because the damage wild boars cause to agriculture is truly enormous: these animals eat cultivated land and trample and kill plants with their paws. According to the latest data released by ISPRA, they cause damage to agriculture amounting to approximately €17 million each year. But these incursions also pose a risk to their (and our) safety: every 41 hours, a road accident involving wild boars occurs.
