That would be one big rabbit. I hope I never come across one of those in the woods.

I can tell you what this isn't, however. It is also not a boar, which i have also hunted. They run with fast, short leg movements and seen to scamper across the ground, they don't bound as their physiology prohibits this.

Then you haven't hunted one running downhill because this is a wild boar, I live about an hour away from there and it doesnt look like Africa.... Its a big male boar running fast and they can move!!!

seriously?

that "footage" was so blurry that thing could have been anything like a rabbit.

are you serious? see this disheartens me... I'd hope anyone could tell a boar from a rabbit. This is why we get rubbish like this posted as a lion or a rabbit, people in general cant tell a rabbit from a lion from a boar no wonder we have cryptozoology some people can fall over a hedgehog and thing its a spiky daemon from hell.

I first thought lion, then though hoax using a dog with a big fury collar type thing on. now i'm thinking cgi.
why is it so blury? the guy says in the youtube description he was shooting some footage of the moors for a competition, looks like it was shot on an old phone. if you cant get a clear shot of moorland, you shouldnt be entering film comps. doesnt add up.
hoax.

ack..... the more I watch this the more I think I was wrong.... the body seems too long to be a wild boar as does the tail.... at the moment I'm leaning more towards this not being shot in the uk? African buffalo keeps springing to mind
