Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)Observer
mikeburrellDescription
I'm not 100% these aren't just escaped pics from a nearby farm but I watched them from some distance for a couple of minutes, snapped a couple of digiscoped photos, and then they disappeared back into the forest. There aren't any pig farms in the immediate area that I was aware of (I was living here at the time).

The western chorus frog is already a separate observation although this one is for Ranavirus which a number of herpetologists at Trent University believe to be plaguing this frog and manifesting as a rash under its chin
